CKD stage 4 was found (n=44). The least number was found CKD stage 5 (n=5).Best correlation and substantial agreement was found between m-GFR and e-GFR Hoek’s method (Kappa=0.740, p<0.001). Fair agreement was found between m-GFR and MDRD method (Kappa=0.347, p<0.001). Moderate agreement was found between m-GFR, CKD-EPI and CG method. Conclusion: from our study we can conclude that, Patients with CKD present several complex management issues to health care providers.
