Yesterday we discussed the problem with the curvilinear relationship between gfr and creatinine and how the MDRD equation dispenses with this problem. Today we will go over a handout introducing GFR, MDRD and how to manage them, including referral to a nephrologist.
Additionally I want to do my canned acute renal failure lecture. This lecture has been made obsolete by the recent ATN data and data from Vanderbilt so it will need to be revised.
