Study Objectives. To determine the concordance between the Modification of Diet in Renal
Disease (MDRD) and Cockcroft‐Gault equations for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) …

Background: Direct measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is considered to be the
most accurate method of assessing kidney function, albeit difficult and costly. With the …

Study Objectives. To quantify the difference between glomerular filtration rates (GFRs)
estimated by using the Cockcroft‐Gault and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) …

Background: Since the derivation of the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MORD)
equation for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR), investigators determined that it …

Purpose. The drug-dosing implications of using modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD)
versus Cockcroft–Gault equations were analyzed. Methods. This retrospective, cohort …

Background: The Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula and a modified
version of the Cockcroft-Gault (CGm) formula adjusting for body surface area have been …

BACKGROUND: The dosing of drugs in patients with kidney dysfunction is often based on
the estimates of kidney function. OBJECTIVE: To systematically compare the performance of …

Background: Accurate estimation of kidney function is essential for safe administration of
renally cleared drugs. Current practice recommends adjusting renally eliminated drugs …

Accurate assessment of kidney function is an important component of determining
appropriate drug dosing regimens. Nearly all manufacturer‐recommended dosage …
