The HUGE formula (hematocrit, urea, gender) for screening for chronic kidney disease in elderly patients: a study of diagnostic accuracy

Abstract: Chronically reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in old people does not always mean that they suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD) since their GFR can just be reduced by aging. The HUGE equation has been recently described and validated in Spain for screening CKD without taking into account the patient's GFR value. This equation is based on patient's hematocrit, plasma urea levels and gender. The present study documented that the HUGE equation had and acceptable performance for screening CKD in elderly… Show more

“…It is acknowledged that decline in eGFR value in the elderly subjects does not necessarily equal CKD. HUGE equation was proposed as a possible tool in distinguishing normal aging from CKD 15,24,25 . In our group of elderly, CKD prevalence was significantly lower regardless which equation was used when we included HUGE equation in analyses.…”

“…The patient's weight (W), height (H), body mass index (BMI), estimated glomerular ltration rate (eGFR), serum creatinine (Cr), serum urea (U), hematocrit (Ht) and HUGE equation were evaluated. HUGE is a validated equation for screening chronic nephropathy in elderly people, and eGFR was calculated by applying Gregori-Macias equation [27,28]. Inclusion criteria were: E. coli cystitis diagnoses, age ≥70 years old.…”

“…Definir la real prevalencia de Enfermedad Renal Crónica (ERC) resulta entonces confuso en edades avanzadas, ya que prácticamente cualquier individuo mayor a 80 años cumpliría con la definición (4) . Es por esto que resulta importante para la evaluación de la enfermedad renal crónica recordar que a partir de la edad de 25-30 años se inicia la pérdida progresiva de la función renal, en una cifra cercana a 1 ml/minuto/año, dato muy importante para tener en cuenta principalmente en la población anciana, con el fin de determinar la función renal para la edad.…”
