New Creatinine- and Cystatin C–Based Equations to Estimate GFR without Race

Current equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that use serum creatinine or cystatin C incorporate age, sex, and race to estimate measured GFR. However, race in eGFR equations is a ...

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Equations Overestimate Renal Function Compared With Measured Glomerular Filtration Rate Using 24-Hour Urine Creatinine Clearance

eGFR equations significantly overestimate renal function in patients with renal masses when compared with 24-hour CrCl-derived measured GFR, particularly near clinically meaningful thresholds. This ...

Cystatin C–Based Equation to Estimate GFR without the Inclusion of Race and Sex

The accuracy of estimation of kidney function with the use of routine metabolic tests, such as measurement of the serum creatinine level, has been controversial. The European Kidney Function ...

Equations used to predict glomerular filtration rate perform poorly in kidney transplant recipients

The K/DOQI GUIDELINES advocate use of the Cockroft–Gault equation and MDRD EQUATION to predict glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The validity of these equations in the kidney transplant population is ...
