Imai et al modified the MDRD for estimating the glomerular filtration rate (GDR) for use in the Japanese. The authors are from Osaka University.
Patient selection: hospitalized Japanese patients with chronic kidney disease
Parameters:
(1) serum creatinine in mg/dL
(2) age in years
(3) gender
(4) race
GFR in mL per min per 1.73 square meters BSA =
= 175 * ((serum creatinine)^(-1.154)) * ((age)^(-0.203)) * (0.742 if female, 1 if male) * (0.741 if Japanese, 1 if not)
