2001 to 2011. The GFR was assessed by 99mTc-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) renogram (GC Gates method) as part of protocol during preoperative evaluation. The GFR by DTPA method was compared to values obtained by four variable MDRD formula and Cockcroft-Gault formula (CGF). Results: The mean age of the study population was 45.32 years (Range -18 to 64 years) with 71.7 % being females. The majority of the donors were parents (54.78%) followed by siblings (33.04%) and spouses (12.17%). The eGFR in a healthy kidney donor ranged was 56 to 117 ml/min by 99mTc DTPA; GC Gates method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
