AbstractRenal functional reserve (RFR) is described as the difference between a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measured at baseline and after protein stimulation. The percent change in GFR after a protein load varies based on differences in experimental conditions, with the use of an oral meat protein stimulus and a creatinine clearance method to quantify GFR showing the greatest RFR. A decline in RFR has been found in numerous patient groups. Recent investigations have suggested that a lower RFR may be associated with an increased risk of acute kidney injury and eventual chronic kidney disease.Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.
