Many methods for measuring glomerular filtration rate in preterm newborns are known. However only the classic inulin clearance as well as the continuous inulin infusion technique provide exact data, but are not easy to perform. In general pediatric practice the use of tables for 'normal values' of serum creatinine compared to serum creatinine levels of patients if useful.
