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 ...

Estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate from Serum Creatinine and Cystatin C

Estimates of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) that are based on serum creatinine are routinely used; however, they are imprecise, potentially leading to the overdiagnosis of chronic kidney disease.
