Substantial CKD burden in adults ≥30 warrants clinical awareness; confirms GFR equation choice drives major prevalence variability, needing standardization.
Systematic Review
CKD is highly prevalent in the general population, particularly among the elderly, but prevalence estimates vary significantly depending on whether the MDRD or Cockcroft-Gault equation is used.
Zhang et al. (2008) conducted a systematic review in Chronic kidney disease. MDRD equation vs. Cockcroft-Gault (CG) equation was evaluated on Prevalence of chronic kidney disease. The median prevalence of chronic kidney disease was 7.2% in persons aged 30 years or older, with estimates strongly depending on whether the MDRD or Cockcroft-Gault equation was used.
