-The MDRD equation does not require weight or height variables. From a serum creatinine measurement, it generates a GFR result normalized to a standard body surface area (1.73 m[2]) using sex, age, and race.

Franco-Prussian War and Unification. With Austria neutralized, the final obstacle to Prussia's unification of Germany was France. France still controlled territory on the border of the new, Prussian-dominated German Confederation, which Prussia considered German.

Modern Germany was formed in 1871 when Otto von Bismarck unified most of the German states (with the notable exception of Austria) into the German Empire.After the First World War Germany lost about 10% of its territory to its neighbours and the Weimar Republic was formed.azi Germany initially expanded the country's territory dramatically and conquered most of Europe, though not all areas were added to Germany proper. The Nazis' fortunes changed after the failure of the invasion of Soviet Union. The Nazi regime eventually collapsed, and the Allies occupied Germany.
