Comparison of estimated glomerular filtration rate equations on prediction of mortality, kidney failure and acute kidney injury
eGFR category classification was substantially different when using the EKFC or LMR equation compared with the CKD-EPIASR-NB2009 formula. Both equations showed equal to improved ability of risk stratification across eGFR categories. Shifts in eGFR category classification might significantly impact clinical decisions. Given that we have identified variation between equations, a careful consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of different eGFR equations is essential.
