Renal function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Renal function , in nephrology, is an indication of the state of the kidney and its role in renal physiology. Glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ) describes the flow rate of filtered fluid through ...

Inulin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inulins are a group of naturally occurring polysaccharides (several simple sugars linked together) produced by many types of plants. They belong to a class of fibers known as fructans. Inulin is used...

To the Editor: The renal clearance of inulin has for a long time been the gold standard for determination of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in experimental animals.

In this prospective study, inulin clearance under well-defined conditions was taken as the gold standard for GFR. ... In 182 living kidney donors, inulin clearance was measured under standardized conditions (protein, salt and water intake, overnight stay) before and after nephrectomy.

Two nonradioactive methods for determining glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in conscious mice using FITC-labeled inulin (FITC-inulin) were evaluated. The first method measured GFR using clearance kinetics of plasma FITC-inulin after a single bolus injection.

In a series of experiments, the reliability of creatinine and inulin as GFR markers was determined. Creatinine is the most commonly used indicator of GFR in the clinical setting, primarily because it is a more convenient and does not require invasive tactics as does inulin.
