The question is, did they ask which creatinine method we're using?!?

And how many of you would have then had to retract and apologise when sent the reference to the Wright formula (Br J Cancer 2001: 84: 452-459) - "a measure of creatine kinase significantly improved the estimation of GFR". I hate Mondays. Mike ------ACB discussion List Information-------- This is an open discussion list for the academic and clinical community working in clinical biochemistry.
