Abstract

Among the SPSMs, CGmW can reflect GFR more accurately than the other methods. Neither the gamma camera Gates method nor the creatinine clearance method nor the prediction equations (Cockcroft-Gault and MDRD) could calculate GFR accurately. All these techniques could result in mistakes in the management of potential kidney donors.
