Renal function Free 1.0
Renal function, in nephrology, is anindicationof the state of the kidney and its role in renalphysiology.Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) describes the flowrate of filteredfluid through the kidney. Creatinine clearancerate (CCr or CrCl) isthe volume of blood plasma that is cleared ofcreatinine per unittime and is a useful measure for approximatingthe GFR. Creatinineclearance exceeds GFR due to creatininesecretion, which can beblocked by cimetidine. In alternativefashion, overestimation byolder serum creatinine methods resultedin an underestimation ofcreatinine clearance, which provided aless biased estimate of GFR.Both GFR and CCr may be accuratelycalculated by comparativemeasurements of substances in the bloodand urine, or estimated byformulas using just a blood test result(eGFR and eCCr).The results of these tests are important in assessingtheexcretory function of the kidneys. For example, grading ofchronicrenal insufficiency and dosage of drugs that are excretedprimarilyvia urine are based on GFR (or creatinine clearance).It is commonly believed to be the amount of liquid filteredoutof the blood that gets processed by the kidneys. Inphysiologicalterms, these quantities (volumetric blood flow andmass removal)are related only loosely.A commonly used surrogate marker for estimate ofcreatinineclearance is the Cockcroft-Gault formula, which in turnestimatesGFR in ml/min: It is named after the scientists who firstpublishedthe formula, and it employs serum creatinine measurementsand apatient's weight to predict the creatinine clearance.Languages:- English- Deutsch- Español- Français- Italiano- Português
