  • PRECISE ESTIMATION OF GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE FROM MULTIPLE BIOMARKERS
    Publication number: 20170276669
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of nephrology. More specifically, the present invention provides methods and compositions useful for more precisely estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR). In a specific embodiment, a method for calculating the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in a patient comprises the steps of (a) measuring the level of one or more metabolites using mass spectrometry from a blood sample obtained from the patient; and (b) calculating the eGFR using an algorithm that utilizes the measured levels of the one or more metabolites.
