These MDRD equations are predictors of the GFR and not CL cr; therefore, their use as replacements of Cockcroft–Gault estimates of CL cr for drug-dosing adjustments will require an ...

Objective Many societies recommend using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) rather than serum creatinine (sCr) to determine metformin eligibility. We examined the potential impact of ...

study has been an updated equation for estimating GFR in children on the basis of demographic and laboratory parameters. This formula is comparable in form and performance to the MDRD equations ...

Ninomiya et al. found that among the 10,640 qualifying participants baseline values for UACR and eGFR—calculated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula—were independent ...
