Abstract Objectives In implementing the 2021 CKD-EPI without race equation in our institution, we sought to investigate differences between new and current MDRD assist clinicians transitioning equation. Methods A retrospective study was performed patients with eGFR<60 ml/min/1.73 m2 calculated by MDRD. Stata used analyze eGFR two equations measure according respective categories. Results...

BACKGROUND Missing preadmission serum creatinine (SCr) values are a common obstacle to assess acute kidney injury (AKI) diagnosis and outcomes. The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines suggest using a SCr computed from the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 75 ml/min/1.73 m2. We aimed to identify the best surrogate...

BACKGROUND Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) chronic kidney disease (CKD) guidelines have focused on the utility of using the modified four-variable MDRD equation (now traceable by isotope dilution mass spectrometry IDMS) in calculating estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs). This study assesses the practical implications of eGFR correction equations on the range of crea...

BACKGROUND Equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) have not been validated in Sub-Saharan African populations, and data on GFR are few. METHODS GFR by creatinine clearance (Ccr) using 24-hour urine collections and estimated GFR (eGFR) using the four-variable Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD-4)[creatinine calibrated to isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) stan...

We read with interest the article by Drs. Ostermann and Chang (1) about the RIFLE criteria as a classification of renal failure and as a prognostic factor in intensive care. We would like to make some comments, also valid for the other articles published on this topic. One important criterion in the RIFLE classification is the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). It is even the sole criterion used...

The aim was to evaluate performance of Cockcroft Gault (CG), modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) formula in the prediction of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) as compared to 51Cr-EDTA GFR (isotope GFR) in diabetic chronic kidney disease (dCKD) and their relation with calcium and iron metabolism parameters. One hundred ambulatory patients with diabetes without nephrotic syndrome, renal ...

Abstract Background and Aims A new eGFR equation using serum creatinine (CKD-EPI 2021) without race were developed by Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration in 2021. We projected the changes of CKD prevalence a prospective cohort elderly Koreans, current (MDRD CKD-EPI 2009) Method This study was part Korean Longitudinal Study on Health Aging, which included randomly selected, communi...

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE In the estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), ethnicity is an important determinant. However, all existing equations have been built solely from Caucasian and Afro-American populations and they are potentially inaccurate for estimating GFR in African populations. We therefore evaluated the performance of different estimated GFR (eGFR) equations in predicting measu...

OBJECTIVE As a standard indicator of renal function, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is vital for the prognostic analysis of elderly patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Thus, the search for the calculation equation of GFR with the best prognostic ability is an important task. The most commonly used Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation and the Chinese version (CMDR...
