Article Title: Estimating Kidney Function in HIV-Infected Adults in Kenya: Comparison to a Direct Measure of Glomerular Filtration Rate by Iohexol Clearance
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0069601
Figure Lengend Snippet: iGFR, glomerular filtration rate measured by iohexol clearance. MDRD, 4-variable Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation; CKD-EPI, Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation.
Article Snippet: The current study was not intended to describe the true population distribution of GFR; a previous cross-sectional study estimated that approximately 5% of ART-naïve adults in the AMPATH clinic population have an eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 as estimated by the 4-variable MDRD equation .
