Comparison of MDRD and the old CKD-EPI equations with the new CKD-EPI equations in kidney transplant patients when glomerular filtration rate is measured with 51Cr-EDTA.

CONCLUSIONS: The 2012 CKD-EPI equations with creatinine and/or cystatin C significantly overestimate GFR in stage 1 and 2 chronic kidney disease. The MDRD equations is therefore recommended in these cases. The reference method used to measure GFR seems to heavily influence the bias of the equations.
