The CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration) creatinine equation estimates glomerular filtration rate (GFR) more precisely than the MDRD (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease) Study equation. The risk implications of this equation have been compared with the MDRD Study equation in different demographic and clinical characteristics. However, whether a Chinese modification of this equation performs better than a Chinese modification of the MDRD Study equation in risk prediction in Chinese patients with stroke is unknown.
