Discrepancy between cystatin C-based and creatinine-based eGFR predicts all-cause mortality in a community-based population: the Takahata study

The discrepancy between eGFRcys and eGFRcr levels is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in a community-based Japanese population. eGFRdiff may serve as a simple yet informative marker for identifying individuals at increased risk of death.
