Table 5.

Percentage bias (95% confidence interval) of eGFR calculated using the CKD-EPI equation and MDRD equation with mGFR by iothalamate renal clearance by gender

Equation Gender <40 years old
40 to 69 years old
≥70 years old
Before and after Kidney Donation CKD and Transplant Recipients Before and after Kidney Donation CKD and Transplant Recipients Before and after Kidney Donation CKD and Transplant Recipients
CKD-EPI Male −6.9% (−10.6%, −3.2%) 19.2% (13.2%, 25.3%) −9.5% (−11.8%, −7.3%) 6.7% (4.8%, 8.7%) a 7.4% (4.0%, 10.7%)
Female −7.2% (−10.6%, −3.9%) 11.0% (4.5%, 17.6%) −8.6% (−10.6%, −6.7%) 5.4% (3.7%, 7.1%) a 4.4% (1.2%, 7.4%)
MDRD Male −17.8% (−21.4%,−14.2%) 8.9% (3.3%, 14.5%) −16.3% (−18.5%, −15.8%) 1.0% (−0.7%, 2.6%) a 11.5% (7.9%, 15.0%)
Female −19.6% (−22.8%, −16.4%) −1.5% (−7.6%, 4.5%) −17.6% (−19.5%, −15.8%) −0.4% (−2.3%, 1.5%) a 5.3% (2.2%, 8.5%)

The percentage bias was calculated as follows: {Σ [(eGFR − mGFR)/mGFR × 100%]}/n. CKD-EPI, Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration; MDRD, Modification of Diet in Renal Disease; eGFR, estimated GFR; mGFR, measured GFR.

a

Group contained <10 persons to estimate bias.
