Differences between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on cystatin C (eGFRcys) and creatinine (eGFRcr) are very common. Researchers conducted a prospective study to evaluate factors ...

Some studies show good agreement between measured GFR and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) calculated eGFR cr and eGFR cys, 10–12 while other studies showed systematically ...

Things get a little more complex from here. Your creatinine level can provide information about your kidney function, but it isn‘t the same thing as your GFR. So, to find out your GFR, your ...

At baseline, renal function assessments showed a mean plasma creatinine level of 65.2 (±12.8) μmol/L and a mean eGFR of 74.7 (±18.9) ml/min, indicating stage 2 mild chronic kidney disease.

For example, consider the case of a 20-year-old African American male with an elevated serum creatinine level of 150 µmol/l (1.7 mg/dl) whose reported eGFR would be >60 ml/min/1.73 m 2.
