Abstract:Background
Formulae of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on serum creatinine (Scr) are routinely used in oncology patients, however, they are inaccurate in some populations. Our aim was to identify population characteristics where eGFR formulae performed poorly and thereby build a nomogram to predict the reliability of estimates.
Methods
Measured GFR (mGFR) using isotope from 444 oncology patients were compared with eGFR from four formulae (Cockcroft-Gault, Modification of Diet in Renal Dise… Show more
