Accuracy of the estimation of glomerular filtration rate within a population of critically ill patients
2014
Background
Accuracy of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimates has been questioned and several authors recommend routine use of measured renal creatinine clearance (CLCR) as a surrogate of GFR in the intensive care unit (ICU). Our purpose was to compare estimates of GFR using Cockroft–Gault (CG), Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study (MDRD) equations with 8h-CLCR, within a population of critically ill patients with a wide range of measured CLCR.
