Acute renal failure was significantly difference in receiving blood product transfusion patients.9 In our study no significant difference was found statistically regarding levels of urea or creatinine or
glomerular filtration rates. Another study reviewed the correlation between the use of blood products and acute kidney failure.
Using standardized serum creatinine values in the modification of diet in renal disease study equation for estimating
glomerular filtration rate. Ann Intern Med 2006;145:247-254.
Changes in dietary protein intake has no effect on serum cystatin C levels independent of the
glomerular filtration rate. Kidney Int 2011; 79: 471-7.
A simple estimate of
glomerular filtration rate in children derived from body length and plasma creatinine.
Glomerular filtration rate estimated from the uptake phase of 99mTc-DTPA renography in chronic renal failure.
A comparison between cystatin C, plasma creatinine and the cock-croft and gault formula for the estimation of
glomerular filtration rate. Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation 2003;18(10):2024-31.
Increased urinary cystatin C reflects renal tubular impairment independent of
glomerular filtration rate. Clin Biochem.
It is commonly accepted that
glomerular filtration rate (GFR) assess renal function, the gold standard marker for GFR is to measure the clearance of inulin.
As to the subject's renal function,
glomerular filtration rate decreased.
Creatinine, urinary albumin levels, serum/urine cystatin C and estimated
glomerular filtration rate (eGFR by MDRD [Modification of Diet in Renal Disease] and CKD-EPI [Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration] equations) were determined.
Compared to GFR measurement based on the renal clearance of exogenous markers, estimated
glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is more precise if derived from both cystatin C and creatinine levels in serum [3].
In addition to having new editors, this edition has been revised and updated with new sections on recent advances; new chapters on kidney development, the assessment of kidney function, onconephrology, and transplant infectious disease; expanded content on acute kidney injury, transplant medicine, and the kidney in the elderly; and information on
glomerular filtration rate estimation, biomarkers, and pathologic targets in membranous nephropathy, minimal change disease, and viral nephropathies.
