Establishment of normal reference ranges for total and separate glomerular filtration rates in living kidney donors by Gates’ method after renal depth measured using single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography

摘要

The underestimation of renal depth by Tønnesen formula in Gates’ method, which has been confirmed by many scholars, leads to the underestimation of both separate glomerular filtration rate (gSGFR) and total glomerular filtration rate (gTGFR). This study aimed to establish the normal reference ranges of renal depth-calibrated gTGFR and gSGFR in Chinese healthy adults, and to analyze the influencing factors.
