TL;DR
In US adults, lower levels of kidney function are associated with an increased prevalence of cognitive impairment, which appears to increase early in the course of kidney disease; therefore, screening for impairment should be considered in all adults with CKD.

The purpose of this study was to develop an equation from MDRD Study data that could improve the prediction of GFR from serum creatinine concentration, and major clinical decisions in general medicine, geriatrics, and oncology are made by using the Cockcroft-Gault formula and other formulas to predict the level of renal function.
