The new polynomial eGFR formula showing the relationship with body length and serum Cr level may be applicable for clinical screening of renal function in Japanese children and adolescents aged between 2 and 18 years.
The reference serum Cr levels determined by an enzymatic method related to age, gender, and body length, and our linear and polynomial equations showing the relationship between body length and serum Cr level will be applicable for screening of renal function in Asian as well as Japanese children.
We determined the new cysC-based eGFR formula is useful for clinical screening of renal function in Japanese children and adolescents, including infants.
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.
