Nephrology:

A major strength of the study by Matsushita and colleagues is the broad range of populations represented. The analysis is a tour de force and, together with previous research (1), clearly establishes that the CKD-EPI equation overcomes one of the key limitations of the MDRD equation—the tendency to underestimate GFR in persons with preserved renal function. Does this advantage warrant wholesale replacement...
