A New Equation to Estimate Glomerular Filtration Rate
Johns Hopkins University · Foundation for the National Institutes of Health
Abstract
Equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are routinely used to assess kidney function. Current equations have limited precision and systematically underestimate measured GFR at higher values.
To develop a new estimating equation for GFR: the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation.
