Full age spectrum equation may be an alternative method to estimate the glomerular filtration rate in Chinese patients with chronic kidney disease 
.

CONCLUSION: The FAS equation improved the precision and accuracy of eGFR, especially in older adults. It also decreased the bias of the estimated GFR. The FAS equation is applicable to adults and may be an alternative to measuring eGFR in China.
