BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To compare the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of patients aged 75 and older without known renal disease estimated by the MDRD-4-IDMS (MDRD) formula, urine 24h creatinine clearance (24h-CC) and Cockroft-Gault (CG) formula. PATIENTS AND METHODS: There were included 70 persons aged 75 and older from the geriatric external consultation. We compared the MDRD against the CG and the 24h-CC. RESULTS: Means of GFR were: 24h-CC: 56,60 + or - 22,79 ml/min/1.73 m(2) and CG: 54,27 + or - 15,25 ml/min/1.73 m(2), significantly lower than with MDRD: 69,78 + or - 18,53 ml/min/1.73 m(2) (p<0.001). Age was correlated with the difference between CG and MDRD (coefficient of correlation: 0,59; r(2):0,34; p<0,001). Moderate agreement was obtained between MDRD with CG (k coefficient = 0.37; CI95%=0.19-0.55) and MDRD with 24-CC (k coefficient = 0.39; CI95% = 0.22-0.57). CONCLUSIONS: The MDRD and CG formulas to estimate the FGR in people aged 75 and older are not interchangeable. There are needed specific studies in old people to establish the most precise formula. |
