Performance and Determinants of Serum Creatinine and Cystatin C–Based GFR Estimating Equations in South Asians

Performance and Determinants of Serum Creatinine and Cystatin C–Based GFR Estimating Equations in South Asians

Introduction: The creatinine-based Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equation was calibrated for the general Pakistan population (eGFRcr-PK) to eliminate bias and improve accuracy. Cystatin C–based CKD-EPI equations (eGFRcys and e...
