Abstract

Kinetic estimate of GFR (keGFR) is a more accurate estimate of GFR in the
acute settings with rapidly changing kidney functions. It takes into account the changes
of creatinine over time, creatinine production rate, and the volume of distribution,
however needs serial measurement of creatinine. We evaluated which methods of the
conventional eGFR measurement best correlates with keGFR. This could assist clinicians
in using a simpler method of calculation and is useful in the absence of serial plasma
creatinine. (Copied from article).
