Measured GFR in Donor Selection, to Do or Not to Do? That is the Question.

If the nuclear scan is easily available, we suggest measuring GFR by 99mTc -DTPA scan as the preferred method. Otherwise, our data suggest utilizing mGFR in patients with high body mass index, size asymmetry in CT-scan, eGFR less than 90 mL/min per 1.73 m2 with FAS and/or CKD-EPI equation as these factors deviated the estimated GFR, and also in those with inaccurate creatinine clearance measurements or with posttest probability of having mGFR less than 90 mL/min per 1.73 m2 more than 2%.  DOI: 10.52547/ijkd.7271.
