Creatinine, cystatin C or both to estimate glomerular filtration rate in kidney transplant recipients?
EKFC equations-especially EKFCcrea+cys-provide superior accuracy in KTR. Discordance between eGFRcrea and eGFRcys is frequent, reinforcing the value of combined equations. Future studies should validate these findings across diverse populations and assess the prognostic impact of discordant GFR estimates.
