In particular, prediction equations for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are easy to use and extremely helpful for disease stratification. Beyond these equations, however, the Work Group recommends the use of 24-hour urine collections for the estimation of GFR only under special clinical circumstances. That and the A rating given in Table 1 to avoiding 24-hour creatinine clearances to estimate GFR seem to imply that the routine use of ...References1.
