Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) and Cockraft-Gault (C-G) formulas for estimating GFR in a sample of Iranian adult.
Materials and Methods: This study was an analytic cross-sectional study on 54 patients with chronic kidney disease. Glomerular filtration rate was measured by kidney scan via TC99m-labeled diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, and it was estimated by MDRD and Cockraft-Gault formulas.
Results: The mean of measured GFR and estimated GFR by MDRD and C-G formulas was 61.64 ± 34.26 ml/min, 51.80 ± 25.47, and 54.29 ± 24 ml/min respectively (P-value < 0.001, r = 0.818 and P-value < 0.001, r = 0.847, respectively). Pearson correlation test showed direct linear relationship between sGFR and GFR as estimated by the Cockraft-Gault and MDRD formulas.
Conclusion: Based on our results, modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) and Cockraf-Gault (C-G) formulas are accurate formulas in Iranian adults but they need a correction factor.
