Comment on: retrospective and comparative assessment of MDRD, CKD-EPI, and EKFC equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate in a clinically heterogeneous hospital population

Paper No results yet Not peer reviewed

Key takeaways

This is a short letter commenting on another study that compared three formulas doctors use to estimate the kidney filtering rate (eGFR) from a blood test. The formulas can give different numbers for the same person, which can change what stage you are told you are in. A comment letter carries no new data and no results of its own.
