• As a result, for adult patients (age 18 and over), along with every measured serum creatinine, most clinical labs now report an estimated GFR (eGFR). (medscape.com)
• [ 3 , 10 ] The eGFR accounts for some of these variables, and it can alert physicians to significant reductions in GFR even when the serum creatinine appears to be normal or only minimally elevated. (medscape.com)
• For example, a white woman with a serum creatinine of 1.0 (a value within the traditional reference interval) has an eGFR of 59 mL/min/1.73 m 2 , a value consistent with chronic kidney disease . (medscape.com)

(medscape.com)

Clearance15

• [ 2 ] The GFR can also be calculated from the creatinine clearance (see below). (medscape.com)
• In some of cases, more accurate information on the GFR can be obtained from a 24-hour creatinine clearance, which requires an accurate 24-hour urine collection and measurement of urine and serum creatinine. (medscape.com)
• This is called a creatinine clearance calculation . (medlineplus.gov)
• Measuring clearance with these markers is complex, expensive, and difficult to do in routine clinical practice [ 5 ]. (hindawi.com)
• As a result, clearance of the endogenous biomarker creatinine is the most widely used approach. (hindawi.com)
• Although not the perfect marker, it is easily measured in blood and urine and creatinine clearance (CrCl), over a defined time interval (usually 24 hours), is used as a surrogate measure of GFR. (hindawi.com)
• Creatinine clearance declined slightly but significantly four weeks after starting therapy with Truvada and this decline persisted for the duration of treatment. (aidsmap.com)
