Summary

This study tested a more accurate method to measure kidney function in 90 critically ill ICU patients whose kidneys were working overtime. The standard creatinine clearance test can be misleading in these patients, so researchers compared it with the iohexol plasma clearance technique. The goal was to see if the newer method gives a truer picture, which could help doctors give the right drug doses.
