Exercise 28

Describe and contrast the MDRD, cystatin C, and beta2-microglobulin tests for performing estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR).

Step 1 of 4

MDRD-IDSM (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease-Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrophotometry):

The formula is suggested by NKEP (National Kidney Disease Education program).

• Formula to compute GFR is MDRD-IDSM.

• The formula is given below,

Where,

GFR- Glomerulus Filtration Rate
