The equation has been programmed into medical decision support software for PDAs and is available on internet Web sites such as www.kidney.org/gfr Some clinical laboratories are now reporting GFR estimates using the MDRD Study equation. The National Kidney Disease Education Program, American Society of Nephrology, and National Kidney Foundation have all recommended that laboratories automatically report estimated GFR whenever a serum creatinine is ordered.
