I would be reluctant to use the term "cave in", but the gadolinium argument was the straw that broke this camels back. We have been reporting eGFR on ALL U&Es for over 6 months. Martin Lancashire Teaching Hospitals -----Original Message----- From: Clinical biochemistry discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Marks Eileen (RQ6) RLBUHT Sent: 19 November 2007 16:12 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: eGFR Dear All We are under pressure to provide eGFR automatically on all inpatient U&E samples to facilitate eGFR requesting prior to gadolinium MR scans. We (reluctantly) already provide automatic eGFR on all GP U&E samples but eGFR must be specifically requested on all non-GP samples. Today I have been informed by our renal physicians that the majority of hospitals now do automatic eGFRs on all U&E samples and we are out of step with the rest of the world! Have most labs caved in on automatic eGFR?

They tell us that other UK centres are using NPT (whole blood?) creatinine meters for measuring creatinine. Has anyone experience of such devices?
