ABSTRACT
Objective\ To evaluate the possibility of predicting renal function from creatinine clearance calculated by lean body weight(LBWCcr).Methods\ 81 patients of renal disease were selected.The ratio between 24-hour urinary creatinine excretion(24hUcr)and lean body weight(LBW)was evaluated in 51 patients.The other 30 patients was determined DTPA-GFR,LBWCcr and 4hCcr.DTPA-GFR was used as criteria.LBWCcr and 4hCcr were compared with it in order to validate the feasibility of LBWCcr and 4hCcr.Results\ There was no statistical significance among the three methods,P=0 56 The correlation coefficient between LBWCcr and 4hCcr with DTPA-GFR was 0 89 and 0 86,respectively.The analysis of linearity regression showed that the trend of LBWCcr was better than 4hCcrmin in predicting renal function.In fatty group and renal failure group the results were similar.Conclusion\ LBWCcr can estimate the renal function accurately,simply and rapidly.
