The Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation had 2.7% greater accuracy (95% confidence interval 1.6% to 3.8%) than the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation for estimating glomerular filtration rate
Summary
Monitoring and management of CKD aims to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular complications and slow the progression of kidney disease.[11] To fully assess the benefits and costs of CKD monitoring, a long-term model of the disease over the duration of a patient’s lifetime is required. Long-term monitoring is important in chronic condition management. The aim of this study was to improve understanding, methods, evidence base and practice of clinical monitoring in primary care, focusing on two areas: chronic kidney disease and chronic heart failure. This issue may be freely reproduced for the purposes of private research and study and extracts (or the full report) may be included in professional journals provided that suitable acknowledgement is made and the reproduction is not associated with any form of advertising. It has been shown previously that more frequent monitoring is not necessarily better for health
