Patients categorised by CKD stage using a single and two eGFR measures for the MDRD and CKD-EPI equations
| CKD stage | MDRD equation | CKD-EPI equation | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single eGFR (n= 311), n (%) | Two eGFRs, n= 190 | Single eGFR (n= 301), n (%) | Two eGFRs, n= 182 | |||||
| Second eGFR, n (%) | Highest eGFR, n (%) | Mean of both eGFRs, n (%) | Second eGFR, n (%) | Highest eGFR, n (%) | Mean of both eGFRs, n (%) | |||

CKD = chronic kidney disease. CKD-EPI = Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration. eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate. MDRD = Modification of Diet in Renal Disease.
