Relationships between plasma isotope enrichments of leucine and alpha-ketoisocaproic acid during continuous infusion of labelled leucine.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The accuracy of estimating glomerular filtration rate from plasma creatinine (eGFR) has been questioned but it is unclear how much covert error in several reference methods that have been used has contributed to this perceived inaccuracy. The aim of the study was to evaluate eGFR in comparison with a second ...
