This study evaluated seven methods for measuring glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using single plasma samples. A novel mosaic method combining the best single-sample approaches improved GFR accuracy across various ranges.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Clinical Chemistry
  • Biomarker Analysis

Background:

  • Accurate measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is crucial for diagnosing and managing kidney disease.
  • Existing methods for GFR assessment often require multiple samples or complex procedures.
  • Single-sample methods offer potential for simplified and more accessible GFR estimation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the accuracy of seven different single plasma sample methods for measuring GFR.
  • To compare the performance of these methods against a reference standard (slope/intercept method).
  • To develop and validate an optimized method for GFR measurement using single plasma samples.

Main Methods:

  • Seven distinct single plasma sample methods were assessed for GFR measurement.

  • A reference standard was established using the slope/intercept method with 1-hour and 3-hour plasma samples.
  • All single-sample methods utilized a 3-hour plasma sample for analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • Each single-sample method demonstrated varying accuracy across different GFR ranges.
    • A 'mosaic' method, combining the best single-sample approach for each GFR range, was developed.
    • The mosaic method achieved a high correlation (r=0.980) with the reference standard, showing improved accuracy (SE=6.5 ml/min).

    Conclusions:

    • Individual single-sample methods have limitations in accurately estimating GFR across all ranges.
    • The developed mosaic method offers a more accurate and realistic GFR estimation compared to any single method.
    • This optimized approach holds promise for improving routine clinical assessment of kidney function.
