Glomerular filtration rate measurement during platinum treatment for urothelial carcinoma: optimal methods for clinical practice

ConclusionCKD-EPI equation emerged as the most suitable for estimating kidney function in this patient group although not meeting benchmark criteria. We recommend its use for initial assessment and ongoing monitoring, and suggest mGFR for patients with a CKD-EPI estimated GFR below 85  ml/min. This approach could reduce costs and decrease laboratory time for 30% of our UC patients.
