Accuracy-Based Glomerular Filtration Rate Assessment by Plasma Iohexol Clearance in Kidney Transplant Donors
Background: An accurate measurement of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is essential for detecting renal insufficiency in living kidney donors. Iohexol is a “near-ideal” exogenous filtration marker for GFR measurements that has attracted increasing interest in clinical practice because it is non...

description | Background: An accurate measurement of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is essential for detecting renal insufficiency in living kidney donors. Iohexol is a “near-ideal” exogenous filtration marker for GFR measurements that has attracted increasing interest in clinical practice because it is non-toxic, non-radioactive, readily available, and easy to measure. In this study, we aimed to set up a laboratory test to conveniently assess the plasma clearance of iohexol in living kidney donors. Methods: A workflow was established in the institution’s infusion clinic to administer iohexol and to collect three timed blood samples from renal transplant donors. Iohexol was thereafter measured by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The serum proteins were precipitated and the supernatant containing iohexol was diluted prior to the LC-MS/MS analysis. The LC-MS/MS method was developed on a Thermo Vanquish UHPLC coupled with a TSQ Endura triple quadruple mass spectrometer with a total run time of 2.5 min. The analytical performance of the method was assessed. Results: The LC-MS/MS method demonstrated a good analytical performance. To calculate the iohexol clearance rate and the GFR, automated data integration and a result calculation were accomplished by using a custom Python script. Automated result reporting was achieved using a laboratory informatics system (LIS) vendor’s direct media interface. Conclusions: We developed and implemented a laboratory test to assess the plasma clearance of iohexol. A workflow was established in the hospital to reliably measure the GFR in living kidney donors, with a potential to be further expanded into other areas where an accurate GFR measurement is needed. |
