“…Brod and Sirota (1948) In direct contrast with the above studies, endogenous creatinine clearance was found to differ so significantly from inulin clearance in a series of nine patients with renal disease or congestive heart failure that it could not be considered a satisfactory measure of glomerular filtration rate (Miller et al, 1952). Similarly, the ccreatinine/cinulin ratio in 14 patients with renal disease was found to be highly variable and unpredictable (Doering et al, 1953). In six patients with renal disease the creatinine/inulin clearance ratios ranged between 0 97 and 2 37 (Berlyne et al, 1964), and these workers concluded that the ratio was Materials and Methods Three hundred and eight simultaneous determinations of endogenous creatinine, inulin, and para-aminohippurate clearance were performed in 250 persons over the past six years.…”
