Iohexol Versus Iothalamate for GFR Measurement
We read with great interest the article by Seegmiller et al1 demonstrating different urinary clearances of iothalamate and iohexol. The authors speculate that the difference reflects nonideal behavior of iohexol as a glomerular filtration rate marker. However, the study does not include a comparison with inulin; thus, it remains uncertain which marker is less accurate in this respect.
