2. Glomerular filtration rate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomerular_filtration_rate

   A major measure of kidney function is the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The glomerular filtration rate is the flow rate of filtered fluid through the kidney. The creatinine clearance rate (CCr or CrCl) is the volume of blood plasma that is cleared of creatinine per unit time and is a useful measure for approximating the GFR.

3. Assessment of kidney function - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assessment_of_kidney_function

   The Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is regarded as the best overall measure of the kidney's ability to carry out these numerous functions. An estimate of the GFR is used clinically to determine the degree of kidney impairment and to track the progression of the disease. The GFR, however, does not reveal the source of the kidney disease.

4. Gadolinium - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadolinium

   Gadolinium is a chemical element; it has symbol Gd and atomic number 64. Gadolinium is a silvery-white metal when oxidation is removed. It is a malleable and ductile rare-earth element. Gadolinium reacts with atmospheric oxygen or moisture slowly to form a black coating. Gadolinium below its Curie point of 20 °C (68 °F) is ferromagnetic, with ...

6. Isotopes of gadolinium - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_gadolinium

   Isotopes of gadolinium (64Gd) Naturally occurring gadolinium (64 Gd) is composed of 6 stable isotopes, 154 Gd, 155 Gd, 156 Gd, 157 Gd, 158 Gd and 160 Gd, and 1 radioisotope, 152 Gd, with 158 Gd being the most abundant (24.84% natural abundance). The predicted double beta decay of 160 Gd has never been observed; only a lower limit on its half ...

7. MRI contrast agent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MRI_contrast_agent

   Gadolinium (III) containing MRI contrast agents (often termed simply "gado" or "gad") are the most commonly used for enhancement of vessels in MR angiography or for brain tumor enhancement associated with the degradation of the blood–brain barrier (BBB). [3][4] Over 450 million doses have been administered worldwide from 1988 to 2017. [5]

8. Renal physiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_physiology

   Renal physiology (Latin rēnēs, "kidneys") is the study of the physiology of the kidney. This encompasses all functions of the kidney, including maintenance of acid-base balance; regulation of fluid balance; regulation of sodium, potassium, and other electrolytes; clearance of toxins; absorption of glucose, amino acids, and other small ...
