TLDR
It is time to change from rigid adherence to the use of the Cockcroft‐Gault equation for use in drug development and drug dosing to the more accurate and more widely used Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study and the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD‐EPI) equations.
Abstract
Acute and chronic kidney diseases affect pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. There has been substantial progress in the past 20 years in the use of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equations. In principle, use of a single equation for each filtration marker (creatinine, cystatin C, or the combination) for detection, evaluation, and management of kidney disease and for drug development and dosing would facilitate clinical practice. We review the principles for assessment of GFR, provide historical perspectives and updates regarding use of GFR estimating equations, including assay methods for filtration markers, performance of estimating equations, and recommendations by clinical practice guideline groups and regulatory agencies. We conclude that it is time to change from rigid adherence to the use of the Cockcroft-Gault equation for use in drug development and drug dosing to the more accurate and more widely used Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study and the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease increases risk of incident chronic kidney disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: This largest and most updated meta-analysis to date shows that NAFLD (detected by biochemistry, fatty liver index or ultrasonography) is associated with a nearly 40% increase in the long-term risk of incident CKD.

NAFLD as a driver of chronic kidney disease.

TL;DR: A narrative review provides an overview of the literature on the evidence for an association and causal link between NAFLD and CKD and the underlying mechanisms by which NA FLD (and factors strongly linked withNAFLD) may increase the risk of developing CKD.

Measurement and Estimation of Glomerular Filtration Rate in Children

TL;DR: GFR estimating equations have been developed for adults and children to improve the accuracy of endogenous biomarkers, such as creatinine and cystatin C, by accounting for some of the non-GFR determinants, thus enhancing the practitioner's ability to assess GFR.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and risk of incident chronic kidney disease: an updated meta-analysis.

TL;DR: A large and updated meta-analysis of observational studies indicates that NAFLD is significantly associated with a~1.45-fold increased long-term risk of incident CKD stage ≥3.

K/DOQI clinical practice guidelines for chronic kidney disease: Evaluation, classification, and stratification

TL;DR: In the early 1990s, the National Kidney Foundation (K/DOQI) developed a set of clinical practice guidelines to define chronic kidney disease and to classify stages in the progression of kidney disease.

Expressing the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study equation for estimating glomerular filtration rate with standardized serum creatinine values.

TL;DR: When the calibration of S(cr) methods is traceable to the S( Cr) reference system, GFR should be estimated using the MDRD Study equation that has been reexpressed for standardized S(Cr).

The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study

TL;DR: The results suggest that individuals with Leu33Pro polymorphism of the GPIIIa glycoprotein may be predisposed to increased risk of atherosclerotic plaque rupture.

KDOQI US Commentary on the 2012 KDIGO Clinical Practice Guideline for the Evaluation and Management of CKD

TL;DR: The National Kidney Foundation-KDOQI guideline for evaluation, classification, and stratification of chronic kidney disease (CKD) was published in 2002 as mentioned in this paper, but concerns and criticisms arose as new evidence became available since the publication of the original guidelines.
