P0264ASSESSMENT OF GFR IN MORBIDLY OBESE PATIENTS USING DIFFERENT EQUATIONS: WHICH IS THE BEST?

Background and Aims

Obesity is a potent risk factor for the development of kidney disease. The prevalence of abdominal obesity in Egyptians based upon the European cut-off points was 30.2% for men and 70.9% for women.

To detect the best formula for estimation of glomerular filtration rates in morbidly obese individuals.

Method: In this prospective study 82 morbidly obese patients were included, Age: 15 to 65 years, Morbidly obese patient (BMI > 40 Kg/m2), Creatinine clearance calculated from a 24-h urine was done, Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR): It was assessed to be correlated with creatinine clearance and detect the most suitable formula for morbidly obese patients.

Cockcroft-Gault formula:  Cockcroft-Gault formula (for total body weight): ockcroft-Gault formula (for adjusted body weight): Cockcroft-Gault formula (for lean body weight), MDRD-eGFR (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation) (Shahbaz & Gupta, 2019), CKD-epidemiology (CKD-EPI): (Levey, et al, 2009)

Results

Demogrphic criteria of the studdied patients

Conclusion: The equations that had the nearest values to creatinine clearance were CG-TBW-GFR and CGAjBW- GFR, both of them had a moderate reliability with more agreement for the CG-TBW-GFR equation . The CG-TBW-GFR formula was the most reliable one to measure GFR, followed by the CG-AjBW-GFR formula, while the CG-IBW, CG-LBW, MDRD-GFR and CKD-EPI-GFR formulae were not reliable at all .
