Besides TKV and HtTKV, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) has also been tentatively used to predict the progression of ADPKD.
Patients starting on an ACE inhibitor usually have a modest reduction in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) that stabilizes after several days.
In healthy volunteers, 57% of the regadenoson dose is excreted unchanged in the urine (range 1977%), with an average plasma renal clearance around 450 mL/min, i.e., in excess of the glomerular filtration rate.

In congestive heart failure (a cause of pre-renal azotemia) or any other condition that causes poor perfusion of kidneys, the sluggish flow of glomerular filtrate results in excessive absorption of BUN and elevation of its value in blood.
The amount of filtrate produced every minute is called the glomerular filtration rate or GFR and amounts to 180 litres per day.
