Enhancing kidney disorder detection

New formula for hyperfiltration and glomerular filtration rate.

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have developed a new method to assess GFR (glomerular filtration rate) in older adults. The study involved 180 kidney donor candidates, where GFR was measured using inulin clearance, along with a two-hour, 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test. Participants were grouped into four categories based on their glucose tolerance and BMI.
