I just would like to add, that there exists a new formula predicting renal function from serum creatinine (and other covariates) developed from 1628 patients with chronic renal disease:
Levey-AS; Bosch-JP; Lewis-JB; Greene-T; Rogers-N; Roth-D, A more accurate method to estimate glomerular filtration rate from serum creatinine: a new prediction equation. Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study Group, Ann-Intern-Med. 1999 Mar 16; 130(6): 461-70.
Besides serum creatinine concentrations and covariates(Age, gender and race), this formula includes also serum albumin concentrations and serum urea nitrogen concentrations.
