Comparison of risk prediction using the CKD-EPI equation and the MDRD study equation for estimated glomerular filtration rate.
CONTEXT The Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation more accurately estimates glomerular filtration rate (GFR) than the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study equation using the same variables, especially at higher GFR, but definitive evidence of its risk implications in diverse settings is lacking. OBJECTIVE To evaluate risk implications of estimated ...
متن کاملCon: Should we abandon the use of the MDRD equation in favour of the CKD-EPI equation?
The best overall index of renal function is the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) [1]. Since measuring the GFR can be cumbersome and costly, estimation of GFR is essential for the diagnosis and evaluation of chronic kidney disease (CKD), defined as kidney damage or GFR <60 niL/min/1.73 m 2 for ≥3 months and staged by levels of GFR according to the NKF KDOQI (The National Kidney Foundation Kidney...
متن کاملImportance of the creatinine calibration in the estimation of GFR by MDRD equation.
We read with great interest the recent article by Van Biesen et al. [1] on the standardization of creatinine and the implications for chronic kidney disease (CKD) management. We fully agree with the general conclusions. However, we would like to make some comments about the methodology. Using correcting formulae to convert 'routine serum creatinine' to 'MDRD creatinine' is mandatory. Van Biesen...
متن کاملThe MDRD equation underestimates the prevalence of CKD among blacks and overestimates the prevalence of CKD among whites compared to the CKD-EPI equation: a retrospective cohort study
BACKGROUND Black individuals are far more likely than white individuals to develop end stage renal disease (ESRD). However, earlier stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) have been reported to be less prevalent among blacks. This disparity remains poorly understood. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the lower prevalence of CKD among blacks in early stages of CKD might be due i...
متن کاملThe Cockroft-Gault equation is better than the MDRD equation for estimating glomerular filtration rate in patients with advanced chronic renal failure
The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of three kidney function estimating equations: classic Cockcroft-Gault (classic CG), corrected Cockcroft-Gault (corrected CG) and simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD), in patients with advanced chronic renal failure. The study was made in 84 nondialyzed patients with chronic renal disease in stage 4 or 5. The glomerular filtra...
