Purpose:Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a fundamental parameter in assessing renal function and predicting the progression of chronic renal disease.

We compared creatinine clearance and GFR with formulas using serum creatinine and cystatin C. Methods:We retrospectively analyzed 211 patients...
