【 摘 要 】

Renal function was generally determined using the Cockcroft-Gault equation and to estimate thecalculated dose adjustments. However, many errors in renal function have been observed in elderlypatients, mainly due to altered levels of creatinine that could influence the prescription of medications. Acomparative study was performed for the diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) using the HUGE andCOCKCROFT-GAULT prediction methods performed with patients assisted at a public tertiary andteaching hospital in Paraná, Brazil. We retrospectively analyzed clinical data from 123 medical records ofelderly patients, from September 2016 to January 2017. The data showed a concordance of the individualmethods analyzed among the diagnostic methods used in all patients. The results showed that HUGEequation was more accurate, confirming the diagnosis for all renal patients, especially for positivepredictive values of renal disease in relation to COCKCROFT-GAULT method.
