Modification of Diet in Renal Disease[22] and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration[23] formulas for estimating glomerular filtration rate fit to variations in serum creatinine (X axis) and age (Y axis) assuming females of Black race. The CKD-EPI formula yields slightly higher eGFR values with higher serum creatinine values and lower age whereas the MDRD formula leads to significantly higher eGFR values at very low serum creatinine values in this population also. MDRD: Modification of Diet in Renal Disease; CKD-EPI: Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration; eGFR: Estimating glomerular filtration rate.
