METHOD OF DETERMINING RENAL CLEARANCES

摘要

In a method of determining creatinine clearance for detecting and monitoring renal dysfunction, spot samples of urine and blood from a person are obtained. Specific gravity or osmolality and creatinine concentration of the urine sample are measured. Creatinine concentration of plasma of the blood sample is also measured. Creatinine clearance is calculated as a function of the measured urine specific gravity or osmolality, the measured urine creatinine concentration and the measured plasma creatinine concentration.
