Why is estimated glomerular filtration rate generally more informative than serum creatinine alone when assessing kidney filtration?
1eGFR directly measures urine protein by electrophoresis, which is more sensitive than creatinine alone and provides a comprehensive assessment of kidney function
2eGFR interprets creatinine with patient variables used by the equation rather than treating the concentration in isolation✓ 정답
3eGFR is unaffected by biological variables such as muscle mass, diet, and hydration status, making it a perfect measure
4eGFR identifies the organism causing urinary tract infection by quantifying bacterial DNA in the urine
해설
Serum creatinine is influenced by factors beyond filtration. eGFR equations combine creatinine with specified patient variables to estimate filtration and provide a more interpretable kidney-function measure.
