Abstract
Guidelines state that patients undergoing isotope glomerular filtration rate (GFR) tests should maintain adequate hydration, but pragmatically these tests can coincide with procedures requiring the patient not to eat or drink ('nil-by-mouth') for up to 12 hours beforehand. This study investigated the impact of a 12-hour nil-by-mouth regime on GFR measurement. Twelve healthy volunteers were recruited from our institution. Exclusion criteria...
