Abstract:
ObjectiveTo evaluate the applicability of glomerular filtration rate estimation equations in elderly Chinese patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD). MethodsA total of 103 elderly CKD patients were investigated. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated by Coekcroft -Gault equation, MDRD1 equation, abbreviated MDRD equation, Jellife 1973 equation, Mawer equation, Hull equation, Jellife 1971 equation, plasma creatinine reciprocal equation, Gate equation and Bjornsson equation. The accuracy of estimated GFRs was compared with that of GFR estimated by 99mTe-DTPA-GFR (sGFR)in elderly CKD patients. ResultsBland-Altman analysis demonstrated that GFRs evaluated by Cockcroft -Gault equation, Bjornsson equation and Hull equation were more consistent with sGFR than the other equations. But all the equations were not well consistent with sGFR. Linear regression showed that the slopes of Jellife 1973 equation and Cockcroft-Gault equation were closer to the identical line. Bias of MDRD1 equation was smaller. Accuracy of Bjornsson equation, Jellife 1973 equation and Cockcroft-Gault equation were higher than the other equations. When comparing the bias as well as accuracy of estimated GFRs with sGFR in different stages of CKD, GFR estimated by Bjornsson equation, Coekcroft-Gault equation and Jellife1973 equation showed better Results . ConclusionsWhen plasma creatinine is checked by enzymatic method, GFR estimating equations may show great bias in elderly Chinese CKD patients.
