A retrospective study comparing creatinine clearance estimation using different equations on a population-based cohort

Renal elimination is an important part of drugs' excretion. At the same time, renal function can be impaired as a side effect of medication, particularly during prolonged treatments. Thus, the assessment of patients' renal function is of major consequence, especially in cases where the the...
