Abstract:Background: It is very important to determine as accurately as possible the renal function in potential living kidney donors (PLKD). The direct measurement of glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) has been considered the "gold standard" for the kidney failure evaluation. Nonetheless, these are not available in many medical centers due to the complexity of the technique. The estimated GFR with 24-hour urinary creatinine clearance (ClCr) is frequently used because of its availability. In this study we aim to compare… Show more
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.
