Immunosuppression and transplantation-related characteristics affect the difference between eGFR equations based on creatinine compared to cystatin C in kidney transplant recipients
Different eGFR-stages, donor, or recipient characteristics, along with immunosuppression such as belatacept or prednisone, contribute to differences between eGFRcr and eGFRcys. These effects need to be considered in the clinical management of KTRs.
