Popis: BACKGROUND In chronic kidney disease (CKD), accurate estimation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is mandatory. Gold standard methods for its estimation are expensive and time-consuming. We compared creatinine- versus cystatin C-based equations to measure GFR, employing (99m)Tc-DTPA scintigraphy as the gold standard. METHODS This was a prospective cross-sectional observational study including 300 subjects. CKD was defined according to K/DOQI guidelines, and patients were separated into groups: stage 1 (G1), n=26; stage 2 (G2), n=52; stage 3 (G3), n=90; stage 4 (G4), n=37; stage 5 (G5), n=60; and control group, n=35. Creatinine-based estimates were from 24-hour creatinine clearance using the Walser formula, Cockcroft-Gault, MDRD-4 and CKD-EPI; cystatin C equations used were Larsson, Larsson modified equation, Grubb and Hoek. RESULTS Age and body mass index were different among groups; proteinuria, hypertension, diabetes and primary glomerulopathies significantly increased as CKD worsened. In the global assessment, CKD-EPI and Hoek gave the highest correlations with (99m)Tc-DTPA: rho=0.826, p
