1. Correlation between SCr and GFR
Correlation between SCr and GFR. Measurements made on 289 severely injured patients and 34 septic patients show that, at each level of serum creatinine (SCr), the creatinine clearance (dashed line) is greater than the inulin clearance (solid line). This occurs because creatinine is both filtered and secreted, whereas inulin is only filtered.
