What is CKD Drug Dosing Guidelines for Providers about?

This document provides guidance on assessing kidney function for drug dosing purposes. It recommends using the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated using the MDRD Study equation or estimated creatinine clearance (eCrCl) using the Cockcroft-Gault formula. For some patients, measuring CrCl or GFR directly may be preferable. It also discusses the impact of standardized creatinine assays, noting they will lead to more consistent estimates of kidney function and drug dosing.
