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...

the purpose of this study was to determine the number of prescribed antibiotics being appropriately adjusted and to assess antibiotics with the highest incorrect dosing based on the patient’s renal function according to distinguished guidelines. the study was conducted at a 446-bed university hospital. one hundred and fifty patients admitted through different wards of the hospital were included...

Background: Renal dysfunction is a strong predictor of adverse events in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The Cokcroft-Gault, Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) and Chronic Kidney Disease-Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations are available for estimating the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). No comparisons between these equations have yet been performed in patients wit...

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...

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...

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 Although prediction equations are recommended to determine GFR and creatinine clearance (CrCl), neither the MDRD equations nor the Cockcroft and Gault formula have been validated for the low levels of GFR present in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The accuracy of the MDRD equations and the Cockcroft and Gault formula in predicting GFR and CrCl, respectively, was examined in patients ...

UNLABELLED We evaluated in elderly subjects (a) the ability of GFR formulas to discriminate chronic kidney disease (CKD), (b) the correlation between renal morphology and function, and (c) the usefulness of combined r-US and GFR formulas to detect CKD. A total of 72 patients were enrolled (mean age 80±7 years, male sex 44%, serum creatinine 0.98±0.42 mg/dL, and CKD 57%). Cockcroft-Gault showed ...
