Question

Why is estimated glomerular filtration rate generally more informative than serum creatinine alone when assessing kidney filtration?

Accepted Answer

보기 2: eGFR interprets creatinine with patient variables used by the equation rather than treating the concentration in isolation

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.

Answer

보기 1: eGFR directly measures urine protein by electrophoresis, which is more sensitive than creatinine alone and provides a comprehensive assessment of kidney function

Answer

보기 3: eGFR is unaffected by biological variables such as muscle mass, diet, and hydration status, making it a perfect measure

Answer

보기 4: eGFR identifies the organism causing urinary tract infection by quantifying bacterial DNA in the urine
