2. Glomerular filtration rate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomerular_filtration_rate

   Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the volume of fluid filtered from the renal (kidney) glomerular capillaries into the Bowman's capsule per unit time. [4] Central to the physiologic maintenance of GFR is the differential basal tone of the afferent (input) and efferent (output) arterioles (see diagram).

3. Assessment of kidney function - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assessment_of_kidney_function

   The Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is regarded as the best overall measure of the kidney's ability to carry out these numerous functions. An estimate of the GFR is used clinically to determine the degree of kidney impairment and to track the progression of the disease. The GFR, however, does not reveal the source of the kidney disease.

4. Creatinine - Wikipedia

   A better estimate of kidney function is given by calculating the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). eGFR can be calculated without a 24-hour urine collection, using serum creatinine concentration and some or all of the following variables: sex, age, and weight, as suggested by the American Diabetes Association. [19]

   To clinically stage the degree of damage in this (and any) kidney disease, the serum creatinine is determined and used to calculate the estimated glomerular filtration rate . Normal eGFR is equal to or greater than 90ml/min/1.73 m 2. [34] On biopsy, the following classification has been suggested by Tervaert et al.: [35]

7. Kidney failure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_failure

   Renal professionals consider the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) to be the best overall index of kidney function. [33] The National Kidney Foundation offers an easy to use on-line GFR calculator [34] for anyone who is interested in knowing their glomerular filtration rate. (A serum creatinine level, a simple blood test, is needed to use the ...
