Preferred Label : MDRD 6 Variable Formula;
NCIt definition : A formula to estimate glomerular filtration rate that takes into account age, sex,
race, serum creatinine, serum urea nitrogen, and albumin. eGFR (mL/min/1.73 m2)
170 x (SCr/88.4) -0.999 x age -0.176 x (SU x 2.78) -0.170 x albumin 0.318 x (0.762,
