The utility of biomarker excretion rates in acute kidney injury by Md Ralib, Azrina, Pickering, John W., Devarajah, Prasad, Endre, Zoltan H.

“…INTRODUCTION: The concentration of urinary biomarkers of acute kidney injury (AKI) is influenced by variation in urinary concentration within and between individuals.1 Normalisation to urine creatinine concentration is commonly used to account for this variation.2 The accuracy of this method is compromised by tubular secretion of creatinine, and variations in urine creatinine excretion in non-steady state when glomerular filtration rate (GFR) changes.1 Alternatives to normalisation to creatinine include using the absolute biomarker concentration or quantifying the biomarker excretion rate. …”
