Comparative StudyComparison of creatinine clearance estimates with routine measured clearance in adult Jordanians with a kidney transplant.
There are conflicting data on using the Cockroft-Gault formula and the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula to assess graft function in kidney transplants. This study uses a cohort of Jordanian kidney transplant patients to assess performance of the Cockroft-Gault formula and the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equations by using the criterion standard of measured creatinine clearance. ⋯ In Jordanian patients with a renal transplant, although the Cockcroft-Gault formula performed slightly better than the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation in estimating creatinine clearance, neither of these equations can accurately predict renal graft function.
