What is the clinical impact of using EKFC equation for estimating glomerular filtration rate by creatinine in kidney transplant recipients?

In kidney transplant recipients, EKFC and CKD-EPI 2009 show high correlation and are largely interchangeable. EKFC yields slightly lower eGFR values, particularly in women, older patients, and those with mild CKD, but the magnitude of these differences is small and of limited clinical relevance. These findings are consistent with the literature in this underrepresented population.

Abstract

In kidney transplant recipients, EKFC and CKD-EPI 2009 show high correlation and are largely interchangeable. EKFC yields slightly lower eGFR values, particularly in women, older patients, and those with mild CKD, but the magnitude of these differences is small and of limited clinical relevance. These findings are consistent with the literature in this underrepresented population.
