Comparison of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the MDRD and CKD-EPI equations for CKD screening in a large population.

Abstract

the use of the CKD-EPI equation results in a lower estimated prevalence of CKD, compared to the MDRD equation.

This may have important implications for public health and clinical practice, as well as for future modification of guidelines for laboratories.
