Comparison of CKD-EPI Cystatin C and Creatinine Glomerular Filtration Rate Estimation Equations in Asian Indians
Background. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is identified in the general population using estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) calculated from a serum creatinine-based equation, the chronic kidney disease-epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation. Using serum cystatin C in combination may improve eGFR accuracy. We evaluated the new CKD-EPI equations incorporating cystatin C in a popula...
متن کاملGlomerular filtration rate determination by creatinine and cystatin-C in patients with acute pyelonephritis
Background: Measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and monitoring of it in any patient on nephrotoxic drugs is very important. Recently, cystatin C (cys-C) has been introduced as a better marker for determining and monitoring renal function than creatinine especially in a mild decrease of GFR. This study was done to assess the change of GFR measurement based on serum Cys-C and creatini...
متن کاملComparison between Cockroft-gault and Mdrd Formula for the Estimation of Glomerular Filtration Rate in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients
The purpose of this study was to determine the concordance between two equations used for estimating glomerular filtration rate, in order to verify the possibility to be used interchangeably in the clinical practice. We present a retrospective study performed on a group of 258 patients with chronic kidney disease treated between January 2008 and December 2009 in the Department of Nephrology of ...
متن کاملEstimation of glomerular filtration rate from serum creatinine and cystatin C in octogenarians and nonagenarians
BACKGROUND Equations to estimate GFR have not been well validated in the elderly and may misclassify persons with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We measured GFR and compared the performance of the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD), the Chronic Kidney Disease-Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-Epi) and the Berlin Initiative Study (BIS) equations based on creatinine and/or cystatin C in oc...
