Comparison of GFR estimation in patients with diabetes mellitus using the EKFC and CKD-EPI equations
Our study demonstrated a slight advantage of the creatinine-based EKFC formula over the CKD-EPI formula in patients with diabetes. However, both for the CKD-EPI and the EKFC formula, the best performance was achieved by the combined creatinine- and cystatin C-based formulas.
