Reporting eGFR

[摘要] In 2002, the National Kidney Foundation, in its landmark Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative, published clinical practice guidelines for chronic kidney disease (CKD) (1). These guidelines proposed a classification system for CKD substantially based on a creatinine-based glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equations. The promulgated equation was derived from a carefully done National Institutes of Health-sponsored study of 1642 chronic renal disease subjects, the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (2). The Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative categories of CKD have been widely accepted and disseminated throughout the world. Currently, many laboratories report the estimated GFR (eGFR) for all patients for whom a serum creatinine is ordered.
