Abstract

Objective: To study glomerular filtration rate by using enhanced spiral computed tomography in order to explore its feasibility in assessing kidney function. Methods: Glomerular filtration rate was measured and assessed in three age groups: 25～35 year old group; 36～45 year old group; 46～60 year old group, 30 cases in each group, according to two-compartmental Patlak Plot technique and using enhanced spiral computed tomography. Correlation of the result by comparing the data of experimentation was obtained. Results: CT glomerular filtration rates and Ccrs of three age groups have obvious correlation. R-value of old age group is 0.83; r-value of middle age group is 0.88; r-value of young age group is 0.64. Conclusion: Glomerular filtration of no-related kidney illness function measured and assessed using enhanced spiral computed tomography is a new way to assess kidney function, that can apply in different age group, the developmental trend is broad.
