• Renal clearance and Renal plasma flow panel - Urine and Serum or Plasma
• Renal clearance & Renal plasma flow panel
• Standard renal clearance is glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measurement which utilizes continuous IV infusion of iothalamate (or inulin) followed by a series of paired collections of urine and plasma. Renal plasma flow (RPF) is measured using para-aminohippurate (PAH), which is nearly completely removed from the renal circulation in a single pass.
