Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Bias in Participants with Severe Obesity Regardless of Deindexation

Morbid obesity is associated with a higher independent risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) has been evaluated in a limited number of study participants with severe obesity.A total of 706 measured GFR (mGFR) results from 598 participants with obesity (BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 ) were retrospectively collected. The performance of the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation, Chronic Kidney...
