Validation of standardized creatinine and cystatin C GFR estimating equations in a large multicentre European cohort of children

ConclusionsThe present study strongly suggests that cystatin C should be the primary biomarker of choice when estimating GFR in children with decreased GFR. Arithmetic means of well-performing single-marker equations improve accuracy further at most mGFR levels and have practical advantages compared to composite equations.
