Popis: Abstract Background Many studies have evaluated the usefulness of creatinine- (eGFRcr) and cystatin C-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcys) at specific time points in predicting renal outcome. This study compared the performance of both eGFR changing slopes in identifying patients at high risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Methods From 2012 to 2017, patients with more than three simultaneous measurements of serum creatinine and cystatin C for 1 year were identified. Rapid progression was defined as eGFR slope
