Many organizations recommend the use of equations that estimatethe glomerular filtration rate (GFR) to facilitate the detection,evaluation, and management of chronic kidney disease.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11Indeed, many clinical laboratories already report estimatedGFR values whenever the serum creatinine level is measured.In this review, we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of currentmethods of measuring and estimating GFR as applied to chronickidney disease.
Chronic Kidney Disease
Chronic kidney disease has recently been recognized as a publichealth problem; it is estimated that by 2030, more than 2 millionpeople in the United States will need dialysis or transplantationfor kidney failure.12 Currently, . . . [Full Text of this Article]
