A practical method of measuring glomerular filtration rate by iohexol clearance using dried capillary blood spots.
BACKGROUND: Exogenous tracer-based methods of measuring glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are difficult to perform, whilst creatinine-based estimation formulae are inaccurate. METHODS: We assessed a new technique of measuring iohexol clearance using timed dried capillary blood spots. A reference GFR...
