The MDRD formula does not reflect GFR in ESRD patients.
BACKGROUND The Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation is widely used for the estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) from plasma creatinine. It has been well validated in patients with various degrees of impaired kidney function, but not in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Plasma creatinine is determined by GFR and muscle mass. Importance of the latter may inc...
متن کاملconstruction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers
the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...
Creatinine calibration in NHANES: is a revised MDRD study formula needed?
Selvin et al recently published a study in AJKD concerning the calibration of serum creatinine in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). 1 Calibration of creatinine is important for precise results when using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study equation, especially when calculations involve low creatinine values. 1-3 A re-expressed version of this equa...
متن کاملComparison between Cockroft-gault and Mdrd Formula for the Estimation of Glomerular Filtration Rate in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients
The purpose of this study was to determine the concordance between two equations used for estimating glomerular filtration rate, in order to verify the possibility to be used interchangeably in the clinical practice. We present a retrospective study performed on a group of 258 patients with chronic kidney disease treated between January 2008 and December 2009 in the Department of Nephrology of ...
متن کاملCan modifications of the MDRD formula improve the estimation of glomerular filtration rate in renal allograft recipients?
BACKGROUND Two modifications of the MDRD equation [the Mayo Clinic (MC) equation and Rule's refitted (RR) MDRD formula] were proposed to overcome disadvantages of the original MDRD formula to calculate glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Additionally, a correction factor for the original MDRD formula has been introduced to adapt this formula to creatinine values measured by the isotope-dilution m...
