The paper entitled, ‘A general equation for estimating glomerular filtration rate from a single plasma sample’ 1] contained typographical errors in two equations.
The equation at the bottom of the first column of page 744 should read:
;)
This is a re-statement of the adaptation of the Brochner-Mortnesen equation defined in the BNMS Guidelines for measuring GFR [2].
The new equation for calculating GFR from a single blood sample (equation 3), quoted at the bottom of the first column of page 745, should read:
