OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess agreement between glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and the decline in GFR estimated with the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study Group equation or the Cockcroft-Gault formula and measured by the plasma clearance of 51Cr-EDTA. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We followed a cohort of 156 microalbuminuric type 2 diabetic patients for 8 ...

OBJECTIVE The Cockcroft-Gault formula is recommended for the evaluation of renal function in diabetic patients. The more recent Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study equation seems more accurate, but it has not been validated in diabetic patients. This study compares the two methods. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In 160 diabetic patients, we compared the Cockcroft-Gault formula and...

BACKGROUND Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is one of the most important guidelines in deciding the optimal timing of dialysis initiation. In the present study, we calculated the eGFR at the time of hemodialysis (HD) initiation using 5 commonly used equations to relate them with clinical and laboratory characteristics of the patients and to evaluate which of these equations best defi...

INTRODUCTION To compare the conventional creatinine clearance measured on 24-h urine collection with the estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate by Cockcroft & Gault (CG) and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) prediction equations in adults aged 20 years and above in Pakistani population. METHODS All the patients, including inpatient admitted in hospital and outpatients, more than 20 y...

OBJECTIVE In clinical trials of dabigatran and rivaroxaban for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF), drug eligibility and dosing were determined using the Cockcroft-Gault equation to estimate creatine clearance as a measure of renal function. This cross-sectional study aimed to compare whether using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) by the widely available and widely used Mod...

OBJECTIVES There are conflicting data on using the Cockroft-Gault formula and the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula to assess graft function in kidney transplants. This study uses a cohort of Jordanian kidney transplant patients to assess performance of the Cockroft-Gault formula and the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equations by using the criterion standard of measured crea...

OBJECTIVE The Cockcroft-Gault and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equations poorly predict glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decline in diabetic patients. We sought to discover whether new equations based on serum creatinine (the Mayo Clinic Quadratic [MCQ] or reexpressed MDRD equations) or four cystatin C-based equations (glomerular filtration rate estimated via cystatin formula [C...

A study of glomerular filtration rate estimation by cockcroft-gault, mdrd and ckd-epi formula in comparison with dtpa renal scan – a comparative study among live related kidney donors in south india. a b c Original Article BACKGROUND: Renal function assessment is the most important part of donor evaluation. The Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is considered to be optimal test for overall assess...

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...
