 190 320

EX0771      GFR (GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE), ESTIMATED
Specimen: 2 mL (1 mL min.) serum from 1 SST. Ship refrigerated or frozen.
Stability:
Room Refrigerated Frozen
6 hrs 1 week 4 weeks
Method: Compensated Jaffe’s reaction, IDMS traceable; Calculation
Comment: For patients above 18 years: the CKD-EPI equation is used for GFR calculation. For patients 18 years & below: the Schwartz equation is used for GFR calculation.
Report: Contact us to know the TAT.
Usage: The level of GFR is accepted as the best measure of overall kidney function in health and disease. The definition and staging of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) depend on proteinuria and other markers of kidney disease. 2012 KDIGO guidelines recommend using the 2009 CKD-EPI creatinine equation for estimating GFR in adults. The guideline also recommends using serum creatinine and a GFR estimating equation for the initial assessment of GFR.
