1. Assessment of renal function Urinalysis Patricia Aristimuño MD

2. Outline Variability and normal value Measurement Creatinine Urea Cystatin C Markers of tubular damage New markers Urinalysis

3. Physiologic variability of GFR and normal value What is it? Reductions Normal varies with age, sex, body size, physical activity, diet, pharmacologic therapy, pregnancy. 130 ml/min/1.73m2 men, 120 ml.min/m2 women Normalizing GFR 8% higher in men than women Age decline: 0.75 ml/min per year aftr the age of 40. Pregnancy increases by 50% Diurnal variation Within individual stable. Quite variation among individuals

4. Measurement Concept of clearance Volume of plasma cleared by a substance per unit of time Substance that is not reabsorbed or secreted The volume of plasma cleared of that substance per unit time is the volume of the GFR

5. Measurement

6. Creatinine

14. CystatinC

17. Markers of tubular damage Low molecular weight proteins –B2 macroglobulin –Alpha1 macroglobulin N-Acetyl-B-glucosaminidase (NAG)
