TLDR
Performance of a more accurate GFR-estimating equation, the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation, is reported by level of GFR and clinical characteristics and is more accurate than the MDRD Study equation overall and across most subgroups.

TL;DR: The burden of CKD was much higher than expected for the level of development, whereas the disease burden in western, eastern, and central sub-Saharan Africa, east Asia, south Asia, central and eastern Europe, Australasia, and western Europe was lower than expected.

Estimating Equations for Glomerular Filtration Rate in the Era of Creatinine Standardization: A Systematic Review

TL;DR: The performance of GFR estimating equations is reviewed to inform the selection of a single equation by laboratories and the interpretation of estimated GFR by clinicians, and neither the CKD-EPI nor the MDRD Study equation is optimal for all populations and GFR ranges.

A more accurate method to estimate glomerular filtration rate from serum creatinine: A new prediction equation

TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to develop an equation from MDRD Study data that could improve the prediction of GFR from serum creatinine concentration, and major clinical decisions in general medicine, geriatrics, and oncology are made by using the Cockcroft-Gault formula and other formulas to predict the level of renal function.

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.

The effect of angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibition on diabetic nephropathy. The collaborative study group

TL;DR: Captopril protects against deterioration in renal function in insulin-dependent diabetic nephropathy and is significantly more effective than blood-pressure control alone.

The effect of angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibition on diabetic nephropathy.

TL;DR: Whether captopril has kidney-protecting properties independent of its effect on blood pressure in diabetic nephropathy is determined.
