The Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Equations Provide Valid Estimations of Glomerular Filtration Rates in Patients with Advanced Heart Failure

MDRD equations, especially MDRD1, adequately predict GFR in advanced heart failure, with higher accuracy than the CG equation. MDRD1 also has higher performance in predicting a GFR less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2.
