Should we continue to use the Cockcroft-Gault formula?
BACKGROUND/AIMS Although the National Kidney Disease Education Program recommends use of the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) formula to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), most drug-dosing recommendations and clinical practices employ the Cockcroft-Gault (CG) formula. The quality score of the original MDRD study was better than that of the original CG study, although the...

متن کاملEffect of creatinine assay standardization on the performance of Cockcroft-Gault and MDRD formula in predicting GFR.
CAPD patients given lercanidipine developed non-infective turbid peritoneal dialysis. Differential diagnosis of non-infectious cloudy peritoneal dialysate includes cellular causes (i.e. leucocyte, eosinophils, red cells and malign cells) and non-cellular causes (i.e. triglyceride and drugs) [2]. Yoshimoto et al. [1,3] reported that benidipine, manidipine, nisoldipine and nifedipine caused cloud...
متن کاملComparison of Measured Creatinine Clearance and Clearances Estimated by Cockcroft-Gault and MDRD Formulas in Patients with a Single Kidney
There are doubts about whether the values obtained from the Cockroft-Gault (Cl(CG)) and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (GFR(MDRD)) formulas are comparable to the more traditional formula used to obtain the creatinine clearance from a 24-hour urine collection (ClCr(m)), particularly in patients with only one kidney. The present study aimed to compare these formulas in individuals with one...
متن کاملCorrelation of Methods of Glomerular Filtration Rate Estimation - 24 h Urinary Creatinine Clearance, Predicted Creatinine Clearance Method (Cockcroft-Gault), and Camera Based TC-99m- diethylenetriaminepentaacetic Acid Renography in Patients of Diabetic Nephropathy
Introduction: Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the most important measure for early detection of deterioration of renal function. Patients with diabetic nephropathy need to be intensely monitored with GFR value. Many methods are used to estimate the GFR, all having their own advantages and constraints. The correlation of these methods with each other in patients with diabetic nephropathy nee...
