Abstract

BACKGROUND: Serum creatinine concentration is widely used as an index of renal function, but this concentration is affected by factors other than glomerular filtration rate (GFR). OBJECTIVE: To develop an equation to predict GFR from serum creatinine concentration and other factors. DESIGN: Cross-se...
