An investigation into the accuracy of using serum creatinine estimated glomerular filtration rate to predict measured glomerular filtration rate

Conclusion The eGFR value has a high error when used for predicting the mGFR. Therefore, the study recommends that an eGFR threshold value of ≤40 ml/min/1.73 m2 is used to predict mGFRs of ≤25 ml/min/1.73 m2 in order to optimise the likelihood of identifying all such patients.
