like inulin the polymer sinistrin is not metabolized in human blood and passes the kidneys unchanged. both, inulin and sinsitrin, are therefore frequently used for the diagnosis of kidney disorders. an important measure of kidney function is the glomerular filtration rate (gfr). gfr is the volume of fluid filtered from the renal (kidney) glomerular capillaries into the bowman's capsule per time unit. to measure this parameter, a marker substance is injected into the blood stream, and its rate of excretion in urine is compared to the plasma concentration. such a marker substance needs to be non-toxic, not endogenous in the circulation, neither reabsorbed nor secreted in the kidney, and measurable.
