Abstract
A reliable qualification process could minimize the probability of kidney donation by someone with an increased risk of chronic kidney failure. The CKD-EPI formula seems to be more precise than the MDRD for estimatation of LKDs' GFR, as their loss of GFR is a result of nephrectomy and not kidney or systemic disease. Using the MDRD formula may lead to inappropriate diagnosis of CKD in some cases.
