Despite intense research the optimal endogenous biomarker for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation has not been identified yet. We analyzed if ß-trace protein (BTP) improved GFR estimation in elderly. 566 participants aged 70+ from the population-based Berlin Initiative Study were included in a cross-sectional validation study. BTP, standardized creatinine and cystatin C were measured in participants with iohexol clearance measurement as gold standard method for measured GFR (mGFR). In a ...[more]
