New Equation to Predict Risk of Death & ESRD for Patients with Impaired Kidney Function


In a study comparing equations that assess glomerular filtration rate and the risk of mortality and ESRD, a team of researchers have found that a newer equation, CKD-EPI, may prove more beneficial than the current standard, MDRD.  Data from 1.1 million adults from 40 countries showed that CKD-EPI more accurately predicted risk of death and … Continue reading New Equation to Predict Risk of Death & ESRD for Patients with Impaired Kidney Function
