"Impact of estimation versus direct measurement of predonation glomerular filtration rate on the eligibility of potential living kidney donors."
(Kidney Int. 2019 Apr;95(4):896-904. doi: 10.1016/j.kint.2018.11.029. Epub 2019 Feb 26.)
In this article:
While direct measurements of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) provide the most accurate evaluation of pre-donation kidney function, guidelines do not systematically require the use of a reference method. [The authors] evaluated whether and to what extent relying upon creatinine-based estimating equations (eGFR) rather than direct measurement of GFR (mGFR) alters the selection of potential living donors.... [The authors] conclude that creatinine-based estimates cannot substitute for direct GFR measurement to evaluate candidates for kidney donation. When reference methods for direct GFR measurement are not available, our data suggest that a strategy based on age-adapted eGFR values estimated with either the CKD-EPI or FAS equation should be preferred.
