Glomerular filtration

The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in experimental animals is measured using classical indicators.

Main content

The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in experimental animals is measured using classical indicators like 51Cr-EDTA and creatinine. The intracortical distribution of GFR before and after an experimentally induced perturbation is estimated by measuring renal accumulation of differently labelled aprotinin following repeated intravenous injections.
