Highlights
- •Recent studies demonstrated that the CKD-EPI equation more accurately estimates GFR compared to the MDRD equation.
- •Differences in CI-AKI risk classification do occur when using CKD-EPI instead of MDRD equation.
- •The MDRD underestimates the eGFR more often than the CKD-EPI equation, which may result in more use of preventive measures.
- •Whether the CKD-EPI equation is the preferable equation for CI-AKI risk assessment needs further study
