Serum creatinine measurements: evaluation of a questionnaire according to the ESUR guidelines.

CONCLUSION: We propose to reduce the questionnaire to a smaller number of risk factors and consider a point-of-care (POC) SCr measurement for all patients aged >70 years without a recent eGFR value while referred for CT. For MRI a SCr measurement is not mandatory while using medium and lowest risk contrast agents. PMID: 24867223 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
