GFR estimation in young persons with abdominal obesity

In the article the results of GFR estimation in young persons with abdominal obesity are presented, calculated on the Reberg-Tareev test with/without an amendment on the area of body surface, and also on the estimation formulas of Cockcroft-Gault, MDRD and CKD-EPI. 49 patients are inspected from age 18 by 40 with abdominal obesity, I-III (in obedience to classification of IDF, 2005). It is shown that for the young patients with abdominal obesity, regardless of sex, estimation formulas (Cockcroft-Gault, MDRD and CKD-EPI) and also Reberg-Tareev test with amend on the area of body surface understate the indexes of GFR and mask patients with glomerular hyperfiltration. Taking into account the limited reliability of formulas for the GFR estimation in the young persons with abdominal obesity and initial displays of chronic kidney disease it is better to use the Reberg-Tareev test without an amendment on the area of body surface.
