Equations of Grubb et al for Estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) from Serum Cystatin C
Specialty: | Nephrology Clinical Laboratory |
Objective: | |
ICD-10: | |
Description: | Grubb et al developed 2 equations for predicting the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) based on a patient's serum cystatin C concentration. One advantage is that the equations are valid at any age. The authors are from University Hospital Lund, University Hospital Malmo and Lasarettet (Trelleborg) in Sweden. |
