Evaluation of Glomerular Filtration Rate in End-Stage Renal Disease Patients: Old and New Prediction Formulas
NEPHROLOGY DIALYSIS TRANSPLANTATION（2007）
Abstract
An accurate evaluation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is mandatory in patients at the end-stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD stages 4 & 5), to assess the residual renal function, which is an important indicator for initiation of maintenance dialysis. Furthermore, the dosage of many drugs, cleared mainly by the kidneys, must be tapered according to residual renal function, to avoid excessive administration of drugs, which may induce systemic and/or renal toxicity.
