The concentration of circulating ferritin is proportional to the size of iron stores.

Which of the following will give the best overall picture of a patient's iron stores:

Creatinine clearance tests are utilized to estimate the glomerular function of the kidney. The creatitine clearance calculation is defined as the volume of plasma that is cleared of creatinine by the kidney per unit of time and uses the following formula:

creatinine clearance = Urine creatinine conc x Volume / Plamsa creatinine conc

Creatinine clearance measurements have a recommended specimen requirement = 24-hour urine collection.

Which of the following tests would be useful in the assessment of glomerular filtration:

Plasma concentrations of creatinine are used to assess renal function. Creatinine clearance is based on the serum creatinine level and is used to measure glomerular filtration rate, or GFR.

An increased serum level of which of the following analytes is MOST commonly associated with decreased glomerular filtration?
