Background In older patients, the agreement is low between creatinine clearance estimated
with the Cockcroft-Gault equation (eCrCl) and glomerular filtration rate estimated with the …

Background In elderly patients chronic kidney disease often limits drug prescription. As
several equations for quick assessment of kidney function by estimating glomerular filtration …

Purpose The elderly are at risk for adverse drug events because of inappropriate dosing of
renally eliminated medications. The purpose of this study was to evaluate differences in …

The objectives of this study were to compare the estimations of renal function obtained with
six equations, including the Cockcroft–Gault (CG), Modification of Diet in Renal Disease …

Background Patients often require adjustments to drug doses due to impaired renal function.
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation using various equations can result in …

Objectives To evaluate the performance of kidney function estimation equations and to
determine the frequency of drug dose discordance in an older population. Design Cross …

Purpose Abstract In a daily clinical practice, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is still estimated
on the basis of short MDRD formula, whereas medications' Summaries of Product …

Background: The National Kidney Foundation's practice guidelines for chronic kidney
disease recommend using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation for …

Background Medication errors due to inaccurate measures of kidney function are common
among elderly patients. We investigated differences between estimated glomerular filtration …

Introduction According to the current data, regardless of the method used to estimate GFR,
the differences between the obtained results should be insignificant and do not imply …
