ABL800 FLEX
Clinical value
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)
GFR is recognized to have great importance in the early detection and management of chronic kidney disease. The GFR indicates how effectively the kidneys clear out the substrates from the body. Besides creatinine, the GFR algorithm is based on age, gender and race.
An accurate result is a prerequisite for precise and comparable GFR measurements. With the accurate creatinine measurement on the ABL800 FLEX you will get a precise GFR reporting.
National Kidney Disease Education Program (NKDEP)
Radiometer creatinine measurements follow the standardization recommended by the NKDEP laboratory. The purpose of NKDEP is to reduce the morbidity and mortality caused by kidney disease and its complications. It has defined boundaries for combinations of systematic bias and imprecision in serum creatinine measurements.
