Estimation of GFR Using β-Trace Protein in Children

[摘要] Background and objectives Sex may affect the performance of small molecular weight proteins as markers of GFR because of differences in fat mass between the two sexes. The hypothesis was that the diagnostic performance of β-trace protein, a novel marker of GFR, would be significantly better in boys than in girls.
