Modification of diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study equation

Equation used in the MDRD study to estimate GFR Principle: GFR = serum creatinine [exp 1.154] x age [exp -2.03] x Kf* , * Kf = 0.742 if female, 1.212 if black Notes: - most useful when eGFR is 15-60 mL/min/1.73 m2 - underestimates GFR when GFR > 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 - less accurate is populations with normal or near normal GFR, extremes of age or weight, amputees, pregnancy, cirrhosis
