Ma et al adapted the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equations for use in Chinese patients. The authors are from multiple Chinese universities participating in the Chinese eGFR Investigation Collaboration.
Patient selection: Chinese adult with chronic kidney disease
Parameters:
(1) serum or plasma creatinine in mg/dL
(2) age in years
(3) gender
(4) BUN in mg/dL
(5) albumin in g/dL
estimated GFR in mL per min per 1.73 square meter BSA =
= 186 * ((creatinine)^(-1.154)) * ((age)^(-0.203)) * (0.742 if female, 1 if male) * (1.233 if Chinese, 1 if not)
estimated GFR in mL per min per 1.73 square meter BSA =
= 170 * ((creatinine)^(-0.999)) * ((age)^(-0.176))* ((BUN)^(-0.170)) * ((albumin)^(0.318)) * (0.762 if female, 1 if male) * (1.211 if Chinese, 1 if not)
