Abstract

Accurate assessment of true kidney function allows early identification, management, and prognostication of persons at risk of having kidney disease. Estimation of glomerular filtration rate using serum creatinine-based equations is frequently used in clinical practice. The majority of these equations are developed in white populations, with very few that are specific to patients of Chinese ethnic backgrounds. This new study has developed a novel estimated glomerular filtration rate equation in a multicenter, multiethnic Chinese population.
