The assessment of glomerular function: creatinine clearance or plasma creatinine?

D B Morgan et al. Postgrad Med J. 1978 May.

Abstract

Plasma creatinine concentration is superior to creatinine clearance for the detection of abnormal glomerular function, of changes of glomerular function in patients with chronic renal disease. Creatinine clearance should be abandoned as the routine assessment of glomerular function.
