OBJECTIVE To assess in diabetic nephropathy, the accuracy of estimated creatinine clearance (calculated with the Cockroft Gault formula) and the clearance of the Tc99m-DTPA, to measure the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). METHODS We analysed the GFR measure by Tc99m-DTPA method and the estimated by the Cockroft Gault formula, in 21 subjects with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. RESULTS There was a strong positive correlation between the two methods but the Cockroft Gault formula underestimated the GFR. CONCLUSIONS The formula gives a accurate estimates of GFR, when GFR is <100 ml/min/1,73 m2. Beside the underestimation, the formula could be used in the management of diabetic nephropathy because the repeated isotope assessments of renal function are impracticable.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.

D003924 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 A subclass of DIABETES MELLITUS that is not INSULIN-responsive or dependent (NIDDM). It is characterized initially by INSULIN RESISTANCE and HYPERINSULINEMIA; and eventually by GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; HYPERGLYCEMIA; and overt diabetes. Type II diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a disease exclusively found in adults. Patients seldom develop KETOSIS but often exhibit OBESITY.

D003928 Diabetic Nephropathies KIDNEY injuries associated with diabetes mellitus and affecting KIDNEY GLOMERULUS; ARTERIOLES; KIDNEY TUBULES; and the interstitium. Clinical signs include persistent PROTEINURIA, from microalbuminuria progressing to ALBUMINURIA of greater than 300 mg/24 h, leading to reduced GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE and END-STAGE RENAL DISEASE.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
