TLDR
In this article, a meta-analysis of general population cohorts was conducted to assess the independent and combined associations of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria with mortality.

Acute kidney injury is a risk factor for subsequent proteinuria

TL;DR: AKI is a risk factor for incident or worsening proteinuria, suggesting a possible mechanism linking AKI and future CKD, and warrant further study as a potentially modifiable risk factor in the pathway from AKI to CKD.

Epidemiology of Chronic Kidney Disease Among Older Adults: A Focus on the Oldest Old

TL;DR: Concerns have been raised that reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate among older adults may not represent "disease" and using age-specific cut-points for staging CKD has been proposed, which implies that among older Adults, CKD, as currently defined, may be benign.

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.

Chronic kidney disease and the risks of death, cardiovascular events, and hospitalization

TL;DR: The longitudinal glomerular filtration rate was estimated among 1,120,295 adults within a large, integrated system of health care delivery in whom serum creatinine had been measured between 1996 and 2000 and who had not undergone dialysis or kidney transplantation.

Using standardized serum creatinine values in the modification of diet in renal disease study equation for estimating glomerular filtration rate.

TL;DR: The MDRD Study equation has now been reexpressed for use with a standardized serum creatinine assay, allowing GFR estimates to be reported in clinical practice by using standardized serumcreatinine and overcoming this limitation to the current use of GFR estimating equations.
