[en] Glomerular hyperfiltration (GHF) is an increase in single-nephron glomerular filtration rate (GFR) that occurs in both physiological states and pathological states. Whole-kidney GHF is often used as a surrogate for single-nephron hyperfiltration since determining single-nephron GFR is impossible in routine clinical care. A clear definition (read threshold) of GHF is lacking. The aim of the first part of this review was to find evidence for defining the threshold for GHF, based on literature review, including systematic reviews and meta-analysis data, with both measured and estimated GFR. The consensus pediatric threshold for GHF as obtained from reviews, measured and estimated GFR studies, can reliably be set to 135 mL/min/1.73 m2 for children aged > 2 years. Diagnosing GHF from SCr-based estimated GFR is not reliable in subjects with reduced muscle mass. In these cases, it could be of interest to confirm the state of GHF using cystatin C-based eGFR, or preferably, by measured GFR, using methods that are accurate in the high GFR-range.
