Determination of the glomerular filtration rate in patients with type 2 diabetes: an assessment of the agreement between 51Cr-EDTA plasma clearance and 99mTc-DTPA plasma clearance, 99mTc-DTPA renography and plasma creatinine prediction equation

To investigate the agreement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) determination between 51Cr-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (51Cr-EDTA) plasma clearance (GFREDTA) and 99mTc-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) plasma clearance (GFRDTPA), the Gates 99mTc-DTPA renographic method (GFRGates) and the serum creatinine Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation (CKD-EPI, GFRSCr) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
