Abstract

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a critical indicator of renal function assessment, which exhibits age-dependency in children and may differ from adults under various disease conditions. In recent years, there has been a growing focus on GFR among scholars, with an increasing number of clinical studies dedicated to refining and optimizing GFR estimation to span all pediatric age groups. However, the methods and assessment equations for estimating GFR may vary under different disease conditions, affecting the accuracy and applicability of assessments. This article reviews the peculiarities of renal function in children, explores GFR measurement methods, and evaluates the application of various GFR assessment equations in pediatric clinical practice, providing a reference for clinical assessment of renal function in children.
