Abstract
Clinical evaluation of early renal dysfunction is problematic in the nonazotemic animal. Measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) provides the most accurate assessment of renal function. However, many methods of determining GFR are not practical for use in routine veterinary practice. This article provides a description and literature review of methods to determine GFR, including benefits and drawbacks of each method for the practicing veterinarian.
