  • Title: Reporting the eGFR and its implication for CKD diagnosis.
    Author: Botev R, Mallié JP.
    Journal: Clin J Am Soc Nephrol; 2008 Nov; 3(6):1606-7. PubMed ID: 18922981.
    Abstract:
    The process of diagnosing chronic kidney disease using the estimated GFR involves several pitfalls. The estimated GFR laboratory report should be requested only by practitioners who are familiar with how to interpret the result. Until a more reliable method is available to estimate the GFR, the current chronic kidney disease classification should be revised by reducing the central role of the GFR cutoff levels.
