ADD|GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate) calculation utilizes the MDRD formula
ADD|(Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study Group) and assumes a normal
ADD|adult body surface area of 1.73.  If the patient is African American
ADD|multiply result reported by 1.21. (Ref. National Kidney Disease Educa.
ADD|Program.)
ADD|       ***** Male/Female reference range:  >60 mL/min/1.73 m2 *****
ADD|Note: A calculated GFR of <60 mL suggests chronic kidney disease, but
ADD|only if found consistently over at least 3 months.  A calculated
ADD|result of <15 mL is consistent with renal failure.
