Abstract

Estimated glomerular filtration rate is an established, routine clinical measurement for kidney function, but the estimate has limitations and cannot be used in all clinical situations. Estimated glomerular filtration rate has a high coefficient of variation, and deviations in the patient's height, weight or muscle mass may result in an imprecise estimate. If an accurate measurement of kidney function is essential, glomerular filtration rate can be measured using an exogenous substance.
