Estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate in Children at Serial Follow-up When Height Is Unknown

[摘要] Background and objectives: Estimation of GFR in children from serum creatinine measures in regional databases is limited by a lack of height data. Furthermore, the ability of GFR estimating equations to quantify changes in GFR over time is unknown. Two methods of estimating GFR when height is unknown and the ability of several GFR equations to quantify GFR changes over time were evaluated.
