Estimation of Urinary Creatinine Excretion and Prediction of Renal Function in Morbidly Obese Patients: New Tools from Body Composition Analysis

Background/Aims: In obese subjects the accuracy of prediction of renal function is quite low. The aim of this study was to obtain a more accurate estimate of urinary creatinine excretion (UCr), creatinine clearance (CCr), and GFR from body cell mass (BCM). Methods: Seventy-three adult morbidly obese...
