Effect of creatinine assay calibration on glomerular filtration rate prediction by MDRD equation
Background: The evaluation of renal function should be performed with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation employing the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study equation, which includes age, gender, ethnicity and serum creatinine. However, creatinine methods require traceability wi...
