This analysis represents a successful proof-of-concept for evaluating GFR/creatinine clearance prediction methods: Across all body mass index classes CLCRCG_ABW-Schwartz or the de-indexed MDRD were most suitable for predicting creatinine clearance/GFR also in (morbidly) obese, CKD stage <3B individuals in therapeutic use. Their application is proposed in optimising doses for vital therapies in obese patients requiring monitoring of renal function (e.g. methotrexate dosing).
