Comparison of risk prediction using the CKD-EPI equation and the MDRD study equation for estimated glomerular filtration rate.
CONTEXT The Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation more accurately estimates glomerular filtration rate (GFR) than the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study equation using the same variables, especially at higher GFR, but definitive evidence of its risk implications in diverse settings is lacking. OBJECTIVE To evaluate risk implications of estimated ...
متن کاملDofetilide dose calculation errors in elderly associated with use of the modification of diet in renal disease equation.
OBJECTIVE To report 2 cases of drug dosage calculation errors that occurred when the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation was used for initiating drug therapy with dofetilide in elderly patients with chronic kidney disease. CASE SUMMARY An 83-year-old woman and a 92-year-old man were admitted for dofetilide treatment initiation and cardioversion for atrial fibrillation. The e...
متن کاملCon: Should we abandon the use of the MDRD equation in favour of the CKD-EPI equation?
The best overall index of renal function is the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) [1]. Since measuring the GFR can be cumbersome and costly, estimation of GFR is essential for the diagnosis and evaluation of chronic kidney disease (CKD), defined as kidney damage or GFR <60 niL/min/1.73 m 2 for ≥3 months and staged by levels of GFR according to the NKF KDOQI (The National Kidney Foundation Kidney...
متن کاملImportance of the creatinine calibration in the estimation of GFR by MDRD equation.
We read with great interest the recent article by Van Biesen et al. [1] on the standardization of creatinine and the implications for chronic kidney disease (CKD) management. We fully agree with the general conclusions. However, we would like to make some comments about the methodology. Using correcting formulae to convert 'routine serum creatinine' to 'MDRD creatinine' is mandatory. Van Biesen...
متن کاملComparison of the MDRD Study and the CKD-EPI Study equations in evaluating trends of estimated kidney function at population level: findings from the National FINRISK Study.
BACKGROUND There are no data comparing the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study and the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) Study equations in the evaluation of time-dependent trend of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in the general population. METHODS Changes in eGFR and in the association of eGFR with kidney disease and cardiovascular disease...
