Comparing Results of Five Glomerular Filtration Rate-Estimating Equations in the Korean General Population: MDRD Study Revised Lund-Malmö and Three CKD-EPI Equations

摘要

BackgroundEstimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a widely used index of kidney function. Recently, new formulas such as the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations or the Lund-Malmö equation were introduced for assessing eGFR. We compared them with the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study equation in the Korean adult population.
