CATIE News - Emerging candidate biomarkers for monitoring kidney health
15 June 2010 - A widely used assessment of kidney function is the level of the waste product creatinine in the blood. This can be
used by itself (as the absolute concentration of creatinine) or it can be used in equations to derive the eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration function). However, kidney and toxicity specialists
have known that there are problems when relying on creatinine levels to reveal information about kidney damage. Before we delve into this issue, we first present some information about the workings
of the kidneys, which is relevant to the issue of kidney injury arising from exposure to some medicines.
