Abstract
The Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) substantially underestimates GFR in healthy persons. A new equation developed with patients with chronic kidn... Background: The National Kidney Foundation has advocated the use of the abbreviated Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) from serum cre...Keywords
