  3. Assessment of kidney function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assessment_of_kidney_function

    0) Normal kidney function – GFR above 90 (mL/min)/(1.73 m 2) and no proteinuria 1) CKD1 – GFR above 90 (mL/min)/(1.73 m 2) with evidence of kidney damage 2) CKD2 (mild) – GFR of 60 to 89 (mL/min)/(1.73 m 2) with evidence of kidney damage 3) CKD3 (moderate) – GFR of 30 to 59 (mL/min)/(1.73 m 2)

  4. Glomerular filtration rate - Wikipedia

    CKD-EPI formula. The CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration) formula was published in May 2009. It was developed in an effort to create a formula more accurate than the MDRD formula, especially when actual GFR is greater than 60 mL/min per 1.73 m 2. This is the formula currently recommended by NICE in the UK.

    free water clearance. C = V ˙ − C o s m {\displaystyle C= {\dot {V}}-C_ {osm}} or. V ˙ − U o s m P o s m V ˙ = C H 2 O {\displaystyle {\dot {V}}- {\frac {U_ {osm}} {P_ {osm}}} {\dot {V}}=C_ { {\ce {H2O}}}} [19] The volume of blood plasma that is cleared of solute -free water per unit time. Net acid excretion.

  6. Free water clearance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_water_clearance

    Overview. At its simplest, the kidney produces urine composed of solute and pure (solute-free) water. How rapidly the kidney clears the blood plasma of a substance (be it water or solute) is the renal clearance, which is related to the rate of urine production.

  7. Renal clearance ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_clearance_ratio

    Renal clearance ratio. The renal clearance ratio or fractional excretion is a relative measure of the speed at which a constituent of urine passes through the kidneys. [1] [2] It is defined by following equation: C in is the renal plasma clearance of inulin.

  8. Effective renal plasma flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_renal_plasma_flow

    C Na = 5 mL/min. C In = 150 mL/min. C Cr = 125 mL/min. C PAH = 420 mL/min. ER = 90%. ERPF = 540 mL/min. Effective renal plasma flow (eRPF) is a measure used in renal physiology [1] to calculate renal plasma flow (RPF) and hence estimate renal function .

  9. Kidney - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney

    Kidney. In humans, the kidneys are two reddish-brown bean-shaped blood-filtering organs [1] that are a multilobar, multipapillary form of mammalian kidneys, usually without signs of external lobulation. [2] [3] They are located on the left and right in the retroperitoneal space, and in adult humans are about 12 centimetres ( 41⁄2 inches) in ...

  10. Renal blood flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_blood_flow

    Renal plasma flow is the volume of plasma that reaches the kidneys per unit time. Renal plasma flow is given by the Fick principle : This is essentially a conservation of mass equation which balances the renal inputs (the renal artery) and the renal outputs (the renal vein and ureter ).

  11. Creatinine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatinine

    Serum creatinine (a blood measurement) is an important indicator of kidney health, because it is an easily measured byproduct of muscle metabolism that is excreted unchanged by the kidneys. Creatinine itself is produced [5] via a biological system involving creatine, phosphocreatine (also known as creatine phosphate), and adenosine triphosphate ...
