摘要
The aim of this study was to evaluate the plasma creatinine concentration (P(Cr)) and creatinine clearance (C(Cr)) for estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Inulin clearance (C(in)) was used as the reference standard for GFR. Thirty-nine concurrent C(in) and C(Cr) studies provided data for comparing C(in) with the measured C(Cr) and with the calculated C(Cr) (calc-C(Cr)). (Calc-C(Cr) = k.L/P(Cr), where L = height in centimeters and k is the proportionality constant.) Thirty-one children 5.3-20.8 years of age, with C(in) ranging from 2.8 to 138.8 ml/min per 1.73 m2, participated in these studies at The Children's Mercy Hospital. The measured C(Cr) was 16.7 +/- 10.3 ml/min per 1.73 m2 (P <0.001) greater than the C(in), and the calc-C(Cr) overestimated C(in) by a mean of 31.6 +/- 20.8 ml/min per 1.73 m2 (P <0.001). Although there is good correlation between C(in) and C(Cr) (r = 0.96), and C(in) and calc-C(Cr) (r = 0.90), the 95% confidence intervals are quite broad. Hence, the C(Cr) and the calc-C(Cr), derived using Schwartz values for k, consistently overestimate GFR. However, if the k value in the equation GFR = k.L/P(Cr) is derived from k = C(in)/L, rather than from k = C(Cr).P(Cr)/L, a more accurate estimate of GFR may be obtained.
