Performance of Creatinine and Cystatin C-Based Equations to to Estimate Kidney Function in Renal Transplant Recipients

Background: Numerous equations are applied in order to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Objectives: This study aimed spot optimal equation that accurately estimates GFR and, therefore, chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage renal transplant patients. Methods: cross-sectional was conducted on 58 Their venous blood samples were obtained for serum creatinine and cystatin C determination used calculate estimated (eGFR). The average contrast of each calculated using Bland-Altman method. correlation, bias, imprecision, 10% 30% accuracy compared between eGFR creatinine. Concordance both CKD staging assessed. classification patients also investigated. Results: plots bias demonstrated by abbreviated modification diet (Ab-MDRD) most accurate with epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI) C, followed CKD-EPI With reference imprecision approximately similar Ab-MDRD, is still better than Cockcroft-gault (CG) formula. They showed good accuracy. Finally, our finding suggested Ab-MDRD might be best-performing stages a cutoff 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Conclusions: Due high cost potential delay measuring it would much more appropriate measure Ab-MDRD; after that, as an alternative approach facilitate rapid clinical decision
