Effect of creatinine and cystatin C measurement variations on calculated estimated glomerular filtration rate variations and the theoretical impact on kidney disease stage classification: A retrospective study

Conclusions Even a low level of uncertainty in the eGFR may cause noticeable impacts on patient classifications. Laboratory physicians should be aware, and cautious, of the uncertainties in eGFR calculations.
