Patients were categorized according to the estimated GFR at baseline with the use of the four-component MDRD equation incorporating age, race, sex, and serum creatinine level 13: estimated GFR ...

the two most common equations for estimating eGFR were the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation and the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation.

More recently, the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology (CKD-EPI) consortium has proposed a group of novel equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The MDRD and CKD-EPI equations ...

In patients already diagnosed with CKD, eGFR (as calculated by the abbreviated Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD] equation [5]) might provide a less crude description of the degree of ...

To compare the risk implications of eGFR using the CKD-EPI equation and the MDRD Study equation, Kunihiro Matsushita, MD, PhD, from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, and colleagues conducted ...

3 The Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study formula is also used to calculate eGFR. This formulation, which was developed in individuals with chronic kidney disease, has some major ...

The race variable in the eGFR had come about based on research from the 1990s, according to the report. Published in 1999, the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study was one of the ...

Different eGFR equations were used to estimate creatinine clearance (CrCl), including four-variable Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD), Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration ...

Fortunately, several validated estimation equations for GFR are available that use easily obtained clinical data and laboratory-test results. The writing group concludes that the MDRD study ...

To determine the level of agreement between the Cockcroft–Gault and MDRD equations for calculation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and adjustment of drug dosing in an elderly multi-ethnic ...

The two main equations used to calculate GFR, the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI), both have correction factors for ...
