What is Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI)?
The Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) is a research initiative aimed at improving the accuracy of equations used to estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). These equations are crucial for diagnosing and managing chronic kidney disease (CKD). The CKD-EPI equation is often considered more accurate than the older Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation, particularly at higher levels of kidney function.
