In this study 800 adult Caucasians patients with established or suspected CKD were enrolled. The aim of our study was to compare MDRD formula, CKD-EPI creatinine formula, CKD-EPI creatinine & cystatin formula and simple cystatin C formula (100/serum cystatin C) against 51CrEDTA clearance in patients with CKD. Our results indicate that simple cystatin C formula which requires just one variable (serum cystatin C concentration) is reliable marker of GFR in patients with CKD and comparable to sophisticated creatinine formulas including CKD-EPI creatinine & cystatin formula.

COBISS.SI-ID: 3844159Present study compares simple cystatin formula (100/cystatin C) and creatinine formulas in elderly patients with CKD. 265 adult patients aged over 65 years with established were enrolled. Serum creatinine was determined and GFR was calculated using the C&G and MDRD. Cystatin C was determined and GFR was estimated with simple cystatin formula. GFR was measured using 51CrEDTA clearance. Results indicate that simple cystatin formula is reliable marker of GFR with high diagnostic accuracy and ability to predict GFR below and above 45/ml/min/1.73m2 in elderly patients with CKD.

COBISS.SI-ID: 3314751103 overweight adult (BMI>25 kg/m2) patients were enrolled. 51CrEDTA clearance, serum creatinine and serum cystatin C were determined. GFR was calculated using C&G, MDRD and our own cystatin C formula (GFR=90.63 x cystatin C-1.192). Results indicate that our cystatin C formula which requires just one variable is reliable markers of GFR with high diagnostic accuracy and ability to predict GFR below and above 60/ml/min/1.73m2 in overweight patients with DM2 and CKD.

COBISS.SI-ID: 3457599725 adult Caucasians patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) were included. In each patient glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was measured using 51CrEDTA clearance and calculated using creatinine and cystatine C formulas. In this study, we confirmed superiority of serum cystatin C-based formulas to Cockcroft-Gault formula, but not to MDRD formula for estimation of GFR in patients with CKD.
