Abstract

Kidneys have an intrinsic reserve capacity to respond to a higher workload by increasing filtration in their nephrons, called renal functional reserve (RFR). The degree of RFR becomes particularly important when the number of functioning nephrons is reduced. Despite the high clinical relevance of RFR, the necessary dynamic measurements are rarely done in the clinical routine, due to time- and workload as well as lack of standardized protocols.
