Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is recognized worldwide as a public health problem, and its prevalence increases as the population ages. However, the applicability of formulas for estimating the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) based on serum creatinine (SC) levels in elderly Chinese patients with CKD is limited.

Materials And Methods: Based on values obtained with the technetium-99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid ((99m)Tc-DTPA) renal dynamic imaging method, 319 elderly Chinese patients with CKD were enrolled in this study.

Aim: We sought to evaluate the applicability of formulae based on serum creatinine (SC) levels in Chinese patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Materials And Methods: Three hundred and twenty-seven patients with CKD who had undergone (99m) Tc-DTPA glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation were enrolled. The Cockcroft-Gault equation, SC-reciprocal equation, Gate equation, Hull equation, Jelliffe-1973 equation, Jelliffe-1971 equation, Mawer equation, Bjornsson equation, reexpressed 6-variable MDRD equation and reexpressed 4-variable MDRD equation were compared.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the applicability of formulas based on serum creatinine (SC) levels in elderly Chinese patients with CKD. A total of 103 elderly CKD patients were investigated. The GFR was estimated with Cockcroft-Gault-equation, MDRD1-equation, abbreviated MDRD-equation, Jelliffe-1973-equation, Mawer-equation, Hull-equation, Jelliffe-1971-equation, SC-reciprocal-equation, Gate-equation and Bjornsson-equation.
