Comparing different estimated glomerular filtration rate equations in assessing glomerular function in children based on creatinine and cystatin C

ConclusionsIn our study, compared with creatinine‐based ones, the cystatin C‐based formulas did not show much superiority in predicting eGFR. Still, we think Bedside Schwartz is a good formula to provide ease of use because, in this equation, the constant k is same for all age groups. However, the most valuable equations in determining chronic kidney disease are the CKiD‐cysC and CKiD‐Scr‐cysC equations.
