Modification of the Schwartz equations for children increases their accuracy at eGFR > 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2).

CONCLUSIONS: Modifications of Schwartz equations at GFR > 60 ml/min/1.73m(2) significantly improves the accuracy of calculating eGFR. The 3-markers equation is more accurate and should be employed frequently. PMID: 27056090 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
