title: [Comparative assessment of using various glomerular filtration rate calculations in cardiological patients].
abstract: The paper gives the data of comparing the use of various formulas to calculate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) for the evaluation of postoperative renal function in cardiosurgical patients. GFR is shown to evaluate renal filterability with a high degree of reliability. Monitoring of GFR changes may characterize the progression of renal diseases. This indicator is an important predictor of the onset of renal insufficiency and the risk of complications due to chronic renal disease. Calculation of GFR in clinical practice enables the agents excreted owing to glomerular filtration to be dosed to prevent their potential toxicity.
