Duration of hospital stay, the type of anesthesia used, preoperative and postoperative blood glucose levels, perioperative blood transfusion amounts, postoperative pulmonary complications, other postoperative complications and postoperative morbidity and mortality were also recorded, as well as preoperative and postoperative urea, creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase(AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and glomerular filtration rates. Glomerular filtration rates were calculated using MDRD formula (Modification of Diet in Renal Diseases Study).

Objective: To compare the Cockcroft-Gault (CG) and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equations of Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation with 24 hours urine creatinine clearance so as to assess their application in clinical practice as a suitable alternative.
The FDA is specifically requiring that new labels include the recommendation that the measure of kidney function used to determine whether a patient can receive metformin be changed from one based on a single laboratory parameter (blood creatinine concentration) to one that provides a better estimate of renal function (that is, the glomerular filtration rate estimating equation, eGFR).
