Williams E, Flint T, Connell C, Giglio D, Lee H, Ha T, et al.
Clin Cancer Res . 2020 Dec; 27(5):1381-1390. PMID: 33303580
Purpose: Management of patients with cancer, specifically carboplatin dosing, requires accurate knowledge of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Direct measurement of GFR is resource limited. Available models for estimated GFR (eGFR)...
2.
Bird N, Peters A
Nucl Med Commun . 2020 Oct; 42(1):58-62. PMID: 33044401
Aims: First, to derive gender-specific formulae for estimation of extracellular fluid volume (eECV) and second, compare eECV as a scaling metric for slope-intercept glomerular filtration rate (GFR) with estimated body...
3.
Finch N, Heiene R, Bird N, Elliott J, Peters A
Scand J Clin Lab Invest . 2014 Jul; 74(7):611-9. PMID: 25017421
Background: Polynomial equations for one-compartment correction of slope-intercept glomerular filtration rate (GFR) will underestimate values at high clearance rates. Non-polynomial correction equations that are independent of patient size and renal...

Peters A, Glass D, Bird N
Nucl Med Commun . 2011 Mar; 32(7):649-53. PMID: 21399552
Introduction: The slope-only technique for measuring glomerular filtration rate (GFR) relies on extracellular fluid volume (ECV) remaining within narrow limits. Although this requirement is met in healthy individuals, ECV may...

Peters A, Snelling H, Glass D, Love S, Bird N
Nephron Clin Pract . 2010 May; 116(1):c75-80. PMID: 20502042
Background/aims: To compare body surface area (BSA) with lean body mass (LBM) for scaling extracellular fluid volume (ECV) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Methods: Phase 1: Total body water (TBW),...
6.
Peters A, Glass D, Bird N
Nephrology (Carlton) . 2010 May; 15(3):281-7. PMID: 20470295
Aims: The Jacobsson single-sample equation for measuring glomerular filtration rate (GFR) after bolus injection is based on two factors of questionable theoretical validity for correcting the single-compartment assumption. The aims...

Bird N, Michell A, Peters A
Physiol Meas . 2009 Oct; 30(12):1371-9. PMID: 19864696
Extracellular fluid volume (ECV) is studied infrequently. The zero-time distribution volume (Vd) generated in the slope-intercept technique for measuring the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) substantially overestimates ECV. The aim was...

Bird N, Peters C, Michell A, Peters A
Am J Kidney Dis . 2009 Jul; 54(2):278-88. PMID: 19619844
Background: Many previous studies have evaluated single-sample glomerular filtration rate (GFR) against multisample GFR, of which the single sample was a member, but none have compared single and multisample GFRs...
9.
Peters A, Bird N, Halsall I, Peters C, Michell A
Ann Clin Biochem . 2008 Dec; 46(Pt 1):58-64. PMID: 19103959
Background: Estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using plasma creatinine remains controversial, especially when GFR approaches normal values. The aim was to re-examine estimated GFR (eGFR) using dual-reference GFR measurements....

Bird N, Peters C, Michell A, Peters A
Nucl Med Commun . 2008 Nov; 29(12):1086-92. PMID: 18987530
Aim: To develop a strategy for checking the reliability of slope intercept measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Methods: Six blood samples, obtained bilaterally 20-240 min after the injection of...
