Estimated glomerular filtration rate in patients overdosed with gentamicin

Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from serum creatinine (eGFRcrea) and cystatin C (eGFRcys) in patients with elevated serum trough levels of gentamicin before the next planned dose during treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU).
