LOINC display name : Inulin renal clearance/1.73 sq M (Stdy U S/P) [Vol rate/Area];
LOINC long common name : Inulin renal clearance/1.73 sq M in Urine and Serum or Plasma;
LOINC short name : Inulin Cl/1.73 sq M Ur SerPl-ArVRat;
LOINC description : Inulin is measured to evaluate kidney function by determining the glomerular filtration
rate (GFR) -- the flow rate of filtered fluid through the kidney. Inulin is completely
filtered at the glomerulus, allowing the clearance of inulin to be used as a highly
accurate measure of GFR. The submitter laboratory's testing approach is to collect
samples every 30 minutes up to 240 minutes after an 18 hour infusion with inulin (long
test) or after an initial bolus injection (short test).;
