Article Synopsis
- * The paper discusses Africa's current situation regarding imaging quality and safety, factors driving interest in these areas, and how COVID-19 has impacted progress while referencing the Bonn Call for Action framework.
- * Key achievements in the past decade include enhanced radiation safety awareness and training, but challenges like limited resources, low imaging prioritization, and a developing safety culture remain, necessitating comprehensive solutions across the healthcare system.
Background: The estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) plays a vital role in assessment of the renal function. This study evaluated the performance of the CKD-EPI and MDRD equations in the South African Kwa-Zulu Natal population.
Objectives: The objectives if the study were to compare the of CKD-EPI and MDRD equations in the selected population to the measured GFR using Sodium Technetium-99 m-diethylene-triamine-pentaacetate clearance derived GFR.
Background The use of serum creatinine equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate is well known in adults and children. We evaluated the revised Schwartz creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate prediction equation in Black African children in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Methods Review of medical records of all Black African patients aged 2-18 years old who have had glomerular filtration rate determined by intravenous Technetium-99 m-diethylene-triamine-pentaacetate, for the period 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2014 at the Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital, Durban, South Africa was performed.
