Use of a height/plasma creatinine formula to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is
simpler and less invasive than renal or plasma clearance methods. The aim of this study …

The clinical usefulness of the quantity height (cm)/plasma creatinine (Ht/Pcr) as a predictor
of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was investigated in 163 children with varying levels of …

The formula GFR= kL/Pcr can be used to estimate GFR in infants, children, and adolescents
who have grossly normal body habitus and are in steady-state condition. GFR is expressed …

The relation between the true plasma creatinine concentration (Pc) and the glomerular
filtration rate corrected for body surface area (GFR/SA) was investigated in 108 individuals …

A retrospective comparison of single determinations of glomerular filtration rate measured by
51chromium-edetic acid slope clearance (CEDTA) and height/plasma creatinine ratio …

We have reviewed the studies that provide the current standards of reference for glomerular
filtration rate (GFR) in normal children from 14 days to 12 years of postnatal age. These …

Based on statistical analysis of data in 186 children, a formula was derived which allows
accurate estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) from plasma creatinine and body …

We reexamined the relationship between creatinine clearance (C cr) and body habitus in
212 girls and 356 boys, including 181 boys and 69 girls between 13 and 21 years of age …

BACKGROUND.: Creatinine clearance is the most common method used to assess
glomerular filtration rate (GFR). In children, GFR can also be estimated without urine …

The accurate estimation of renal function is of vital importance in the management of a child
with renal disease. Given the well known difficulties of obtaining an accurately timed 24-hour …
