Simple Cystatin C–Based Prediction Equations for Glomerular Filtration Rate Compared with the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Prediction Equation for Adults and the Schwartz and the Counahan–Barratt Prediction Equations for Children

Abstract

A GFR prediction equation based solely on cystatin C (in mg/L) and a prepubertal factor might replace the simplified MDRD prediction equation for adults and the Schwartz and Counahan-Barratt prediction equations for children.
