objective: measurement of glomerular filtration rate (gfr) is the best determinant in assessment of kidney function for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. as extremely accurate methods of gfr measurement (i.e. inulin clearance) are expensive and time-consuming and due to limitations of the 24 hour urine collection method, some formula have been developed for the gfr measurement. here we have ...

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. The two equations are of Cockcroft & Gault (CG) (1976) formula and MDRD (modification of Diet in Renal Disease) (1999) formula, these two models allow the assessment of glomerular ...

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...

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...

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 th...

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 ...

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 ...
