What is already known about this subject • In burn patients it has been shown ([2]), that there is a correlation between the creatinine clearance (CLCR) and the clearance of inulin. • The CLCR has never been studied in burn patients who have normal serum creatinine. • The Robert, Kirkpatrick and sMD...
