Serum Creatinine and Renal Function
Abstract
Serum creatinine is widely interpreted as a measure only of renal function; however, the serum level reflects not only renal excretion, but also the generation, intake, and metabolism of creatinine. In this review, we demonstrate that serum creatinine does not provide an adequate estimate of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and contrary to recent teachings, that the slope of the reciprocal of serum creatinine vs time does not permit an accurate assessment of the rate of progression of renal disease. In clinical investigation, it is essential to utilize more accurate and sensitive measures of renal function to estimate GFR and progression. As effective treatments for progressive renal diseases are discovered, it will also be necessary to employ these measurements in clinical practice.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
