Abstract
A computerised system capable of prospective assessment of the course of chronic renal failure has been devised. Rapid analysis is possible of the progress of a large cohort of patients and therefore of the prospective load on renal unit facilities. Calculated creatinine clearance values provide a more accurate and earlier prediction of end stage failure than the reciprocals of serum creatinine values.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
