Calculate the GFR for this patient in mLmin creatinine excre

Calculate the GFR for this patient in mL/min: creatinine excretion is 90 mg/hr and the plasma concentration of creatinine is 1.8 mg/dL. Based on the calculation, are this patient\'s kidneys functioning OK or not?

Solution

GFR = creatinine excretion / plasma concentration of creatinine

= (90 mg/hr)/(1.8 mg/dl)

= 50 dl/hr

= 5000 ml/60 min

= 83.33 l/min

Kidney damage with mild loss of kidney function means CKD stage 2.
