Summary
The creatinine/inulin clearance ratio remains close to unity during hypoxia in anesthetized dogs with blood oxygen content as low as 5.5 vol. % resulting from inhalation of an 8% oxygen mixture. Supported by the fact that absolute clearance values do not decrease, it is concluded that the creatinine clearance remains an adequate measure of glomerular filtration rate under these conditions.
