Abstract

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR), 131I-Hippuran clearance and estimated creatinine clearance were investigated in 34 patients with cancer. For Hippuran clearance and GFR, analysed with the X-ray contrast (iohexol) and fluorescence technique, the least square linear regression coefficient was 5.01 +/- 0.41 (r = 0.91). This value concurs with the five to one ratio between GFR and renal plasma flow known from normal physiology and supports that Hippuran clearance is a valid measure of renal function. When the individual values of Hippuran clearance were divided by 5.01, the mean difference between the methods was 0.4 ml min-1 1.73 m-2 with standard deviation 13.4 ml min-1 1.73 m-2. The lower and upper limits of agreement were -26.7 and 25.9 ml min-1 1.73 m-2, respectively. Comparing creatinine clearance estimated from the serum creatinine level with GFR, the limits of agreement were -29.4 and 21.6 ml min-1 1.73 m-2. These agreement limits are in the same range as those which can be calculated from the data from other studies.
