Formulas: Kidney function is estimated in several ways- 24 hr urine collection for measuring creatinine, using formulas with serum creatinine.Mdrd equation is the most commonly used formula and many labs report this estimate when serum creatinine is measured.All these tests only give an estimate and this has to be considered in the context of the patient, underlying medical problems.Please consult md.
