Abstract
Many organizations recommend the use of equations that estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) to facilitate the detection, evaluation, and management of chronic kidney disease.1-11 Indeed, many clinical laboratories already report estimated GFR values whenever the serum creatinine level is measured. In this review, we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of current methods of measuring and estimating GFR as applied to chronic kidney disease.
