Screening of patients with augmented renal clearance in ICU: taking into account the CKD-EPI equation, the age, and the cause of admission.

In ICU patients with normal SCr, eGFR formulas are imprecise in assessing CrCl. If measured CrCl must be ideally used to detect modifications of the renal function, in clinical practice, age, reason for admission, and CKD-EPI could be used as screening tool to identify ARC.
