Multicentre physiological reference values for the concentration of creatininium in plasma and diagnostic specificity of glomerular filtration rate estimated with the MDRD equation

Background: The National Kidney Disease Education Program recommends that clinical laboratories, when asked for an estimation of glomerular filtration rate in a patient by means of the “four-variable” Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study equation, also provide the measurement result for creatininium concentration in plasma and the appropriate reference interval...
