Comparison of GFR measurement with a two-blood sample technique using [99mTc]Tc-DTPA vs. creatinine-based equations in potential kidney donors

Comparison of GFR measurement with a two-blood sample technique using [99mTc]Tc-DTPA vs. creatinine-based equations in potential kidney donors

ABSTRACT Introduction: Accurate determination of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is crucial for selection of kidney donors. Nuclear medicine methods are considered accurate in measuring GFR but are not always easily available. The four-variable Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD4), Chroni...
