Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health problem with increasing prevalence in Pakistan.1,2 Early identification of mild renal disease can delay its progression.3 Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best overall index of renal function, but it is difficult to measure, so mostly clinicians rely on serum creatinine (SCr) concentration which its own limitations. On the other hand 24 hours (h) urinary creatinine clearance (CrCl) is a more sensitive marker of renal dysfunction.4,5
