IDMS (Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry) indicates a method for determining creatinine concentration that has been standardized using, or traceable to, IDMS. Contact laboratory if uncertain as to whether or not reported values are IDMS-traceable. You can estimate the glomerular filtration rate from the formula if the serum creatinine concentration is stable. The accuracy of the abbreviated MDRD study equation as an estimate of the true glomerular filtration rate is discussed elsewhere in UpToDate. Equation parameters such as
