Diagnostic Accuracy of Cystatin C–Based eGFR Equations at Different GFR Levels in Children
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The diagnostic accuracy of cystatin C estimated GFR (eGFR) by various cystatin C equations have varied in different studies. We hypothesized that the GFR level of enrolled patients affects the diagnostic accuracy of a cystatin C equation.
DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS: We analyzed 240 consecutively enrolled children at a single Canadian center in a prospective and cross-sectional study. Cystatin C was …
