A Simple Method to Measure Renal Function in Swine by the Plasma Clearance of Iohexol

A Simple Method to Measure Renal Function in Swine by the Plasma Clearance of Iohexol

There is no simple method to measure glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in swine, an established model for studying renal disease. We developed a protocol to measure GFR in conscious swine by using the plasma clearance of iohexol. We used two groups, test and validation, with eight animals each. Ten m...
