The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Outcome of Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL)-positive Subclinical Acute Kidney Injury: A Multicenter Pooled Analysis of Prospective Studies (2011, methodology): “73 m(2) calculated with the implified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease study ormula (24) in adults or the simplified Schwartz formula in hildren (25).”
Epidemiology of chronic kidney disease in children (2011, neutral): “In children, the currently available methods of estimating GFR are evolving, but a proper assessment of renal function by estimated GFR formulae remains challenging, particularly in the early stages of kidney injury [11].”
Measurement and estimation of GFR in children and adolescents. (2009, methodology): “When using creatinine-based estimating formulas, it is important to know which creatinine assay is being used, because the coefficients of each equation are critically dependent on assay methodology (see Table 3) (6).”
Fabry disease (2010, methodology): “The widely used original Schwartz formula [67] substantially overestimates GFR with a low accuracy, whereas the new abbreviated Schwartz formula [68] shows relatively good performances with a mean GFR overestimation of 5.”
