Renal status in adult volunteers in central Italy: results from Family Abbott Renal Disease Monitoring Project (FARM) study.

Conclusions: This study suggests that screening for CKD in the general population by eGFR calculations (MDRD or C-G) is unreliable; therefore, the monitoring of serum creatinine and other risk factors may be more appropriate. The presence of vitamin D insufficiency in apparently healthy individuals warrants further investigation.
