Abstract:
Estimated glomerular filtration rate ( eGFR ) is important for diagnosis and staging of chronic kidney disease ( CKD ) , disease risk evaluation and prediction of prognosis , precise dosing and public health management .Automatic reporting eGFR when creatinine and/or cystatin C is measured could improve the quality of service of clinical laboratory .Here we discussed the clinical significance of automatic reporting of eGFR , the status of automatic reporting of eGFR at home and abroad , and matters needing attention when eGFR was reported by clinical laboratory .Wish eGFR to play a better role in clinical practice .
