Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Main Objective: Validation and standardization of the methodology of serum creatinin measurement in different laboratories and validation of estimated glomerular filtration ratio. ;Secondary Objective: ;Primary end point(s): The GFR will be measured using the renal clearance of inulin (Inutest) in volunteers with different stage of renal disease or without renal disease. A blood sample will be obtained for measuring serum creatinine in different laboratories.
