Glomerular filtration rate during enflurane anaesthesia.
Pre- and preoperative determination of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was performed in 10 patients operated on during enflurane anaesthesia. The mean GFR decreased significantly by 21%. The decrease in GFR is of the same order of magnitude as that reported for most general anaesthetics.
