Normalizing GFR for body surface area (BSA) is sometimes misleading; theoretically and physiologically it would be better to use extra-cellular fluid volume (ECFV) to index GFR. However, as elegantly argued by Geddes et al., for most situations it is much more practical to accept the physiological flaws and sacrifice the accuracy for the simplicity inherent in indexing GFR for BSA.
(See editorial comment by Geddes et al., pages 4–6).
