Comparison of creatinine-based equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate in deceased donor renal transplant recipients.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is important for clinical management in kidney transplantation recipients (KTR). However, very few studies have evaluated the performance of the new GFR estimating equations (Lund-Malmö Revised-LMR, and Full Age Spectrum-FAS) in KTR. METHODS:GFR was estimated (eGFR) using CKD-EPI, MDRD, LMR, and FAS equations and compared to GFR measurement (mGFR) by reference methods (inuline urinary and iohexol plasma clearance) in 395 deceased-donor KTR without corticosteroids. The equations performance was assessed using bias (mean difference of eGFR and mGFR), precision (standard deviation of the difference), accuracy (concordance correlation coefficient-CCC), and agreements (total deviation index-TDI). The area under receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) and the likelihood ratio for a positive result were calculated. RESULTS:In the total population, the performance of the CKD-EPI, MDRD and FAS equations was significantly lower than the LMR equation regarding the mean [95%CI] difference in bias (-2.0 [-4.0; -1.5] versus 9.0 [7.5; 10.0], 5.0 [3.5; 6.0] and 10.0 [8.5; 11.0] mL/min/1.73m2, P<0.005) and TDI (17.10 [16.41; 17.88], 25.91 [24.66; 27.16], 21.23 [19.48; 23.13] and 25.84 [24.16; 27.57], respectively). Concerning the CCC, all equation had poor agreement (<0.800) without statically difference between them. However, all equations had excellent area under the ROC curve (>0.900), and LMR equation had the best ability to correctly predict KTR with mGFR<45 mL/min/1.73 m2 (positive likelihood ratio: 8.87 [5.79; 13.52]). CONCLUSION:Among a referral group of subjects KTR, LMR equation had the best mean bias and TDI, but with no significant superiority in other agreement tools. Caveat is required in the use and interpretation of PCr-based equations in this specific population.

Project description:Accurate estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is important for diagnosis and risk stratification in chronic kidney disease and for selection of living donors. Ethnic differences have required correction factors in the originally developed creatinine-based GFR estimation equations for populations around the world. Existing equations have not been validated in the vegetarian Indian population. We examined the performance of creatinine and cystatin-based GFR estimating equations in Indians.GFR was measured by urinary clearance of inulin. Serum creatinine was measured using IDMS-traceable Jaffe's and enzymatic assays, and cystatin C by colloidal gold immunoassay. Dietary protein intake was calculated by measuring urinary nitrogen appearance. Bias, precision and accuracy were calculated for the eGFR equations.A total of 130 participants (63 healthy kidney donors and 67 with CKD) were studied. About 50% were vegetarians, and the remainder ate meat 3.8 times every month. The average creatinine excretion were 14.7 mg/kg/day (95% CI: 13.5 to 15.9 mg/kg/day) and 12.4 mg/kg/day (95% CI: 11.2 to 13.6 mg/kg/day) in males and females, respectively. The average daily protein intake was 46.1 g/day (95% CI: 43.2 to 48.8 g/day). The mean mGFR in the study population was 51.66?±?31.68 ml/min/1.73m2. All creatinine-based eGFR equations overestimated GFR (p?<?0.01 for each creatinine based eGFR equation). However, eGFR by CKD-EPICys was not significantly different from mGFR (p?=?0.38). The CKD-EPICys exhibited lowest bias [mean bias: -3.53?±?14.70 ml/min/1.73m2 (95% CI: -0.608 to -0.98)] and highest accuracy (P30: 74.6%). The GFR in the healthy population was 79.44 ± 20.19 (range: 41.90-134.50) ml/min/1.73m2.Existing creatinine-based GFR estimating equations overestimate GFR in Indians. An appropriately powered study is needed to develop either a correction factor or a new equation for accurate assessment of kidney function in the Indian population.

Project description:ImportanceEstimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is useful in many clinical conditions. However, very few studies have evaluated the performance of GFR-estimating equations in older adults at various degrees of kidney impairment.ObjectiveTo determine the performance of plasma-creatinine-based equations Chronic Kidney Disease-Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI), Lund-Malmö Revised, (LMR), full age spectrum (FAS), and Berlin Initiative Study (BIS) 1 in older adults across a broad spectrum of GFRs.Design, setting, and participantsSingle-center cross-sectional study performed in France including 2247 participants aged 65 to 90 years who underwent inulin GFR measurements from July 1, 2003, to July 30, 2017, for suspected or established renal dysfunction, for renal risk, before kidney donation, or after kidney transplant.Main outcomes and measuresThe main outcome measure was GRF measured by inulin clearance. Equation performance criteria considered bias (difference between estimated and measured GFR), precision (interquartile range of the median difference), and accuracy P30 (percentage of estimated GFRs lying between [measured GFR - 30% of measured GFR] and [measured GFR + 30% of measured GFR]).ResultsThe mean (SD) age of the 2247 participants was 71.5 (5) years and 1192 (53.0%) were male. The difference in median (95% CI) bias was significant between CKD-EPI vs LMR (-4.0 [-4.0 to -3.5 mL/min/1.73 m2; P?<?.001]) and CKD-EPI vs FAS (-2.0 [-3.5 to -2.5] mL/min/1.73 m2, P?<?.001) but not significant between CKD-EPI vs BIS 1 (0.0 [-1.5 to 0.5], P?=?.07, Mood test). In patients aged 65 to 74 years with measured GFR<45 mL/min/1.73 m2, the difference in median P30 (95% CI) was not significant between CKD-EPI vs LMR (P?=?.08) and CKD-EPI vs FAS (P?=?.48) but significant vs BIS 1 (P?=?.004, McNemar test). In subjects 75 years and older, with measured GFR less than 45 mL/min/1.73 m2, LMR and BIS 1 were more accurate than CKD-EPI and FAS (P30?=?74.5 [70.0-79.5] and 73.0 [68.0-78.0] vs 69.0 [64.5-74.0] and 69.0 [65.5-72.0]). In all patients, despite small statistical differences, the performance of CKD-EPI equation was not clinically different from that of LMR, FAS, or BIS 1.Conclusions and relevanceIn a referral group of patients 65 years and older who had GFR estimated using CDK-EPI, LMR, BIS 1, and FAS equations, a comparison with renal inulin clearance found that none of the equations had a superior diagnostic performance. Each had limitations regarding accuracy.

Project description:IntroductionGlomerular filtration rate (GFR) is typically estimated with equations that use biomarkers such as serum creatinine and/or cystatin-C. The impact of these different biomarkers on GFR estimates in glomerular disease patients is unclear. In this study, we compared the different GFR estimating equations in the Cure Glomerulonephropathy (CureGN) cohort of children and adults with glomerular disease.MethodsAll available cystatin-C measurements from CureGN study participants were matched to same-day serum creatinine measurements to estimate GFR. To explore the strength of agreement between eGFR values obtained from the "Under 25" (U25) and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-Epi) equations, we used intraclass correlation coefficients. Multivariable linear mixed effects models were used to determine which factors were independently associated with differences in eGFR values.ResultsA total of 928 cystatin-C measurements were matched to same-day serum creatinine measurements from N = 332 CureGN study participants (58% male, 69% White/Caucasian, 20% Black/African American). Among 628 measurements collected while study participants were under 25 years old, there was moderate agreement (0.731) in serum creatinine versus cystatin-C U25 equations. Models showed that higher eGFR values were associated with larger differences between the two equations (p < 0.001). Among 253 measurements collected while study participants were at least 18 years old, there was excellent agreement (0.891-0.978) among CKD-Epi equations using serum creatinine alone, cystatin-C alone, or the combination of both. Younger age was associated with larger differences between CKD-Epi equations (p = 0.06 to p = 0.016).ConclusionExcellent agreement between CKD-Epi equations indicates continued use of serum creatinine alone for GFR estimation could be appropriate for adults. In contrast, only moderate agreement between U25 equations indicates a need for more frequent measurement of cystatin-C among children and young adults, especially as eGFR increases.

Project description:Estimates of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) that are based on serum creatinine are routinely used; however, they are imprecise, potentially leading to the overdiagnosis of chronic kidney disease. Cystatin C is an alternative filtration marker for estimating GFR.Using cross-sectional analyses, we developed estimating equations based on cystatin C alone and in combination with creatinine in diverse populations totaling 5352 participants from 13 studies. These equations were then validated in 1119 participants from 5 different studies in which GFR had been measured. Cystatin and creatinine assays were traceable to primary reference materials.Mean measured GFRs were 68 and 70 ml per minute per 1.73 m(2) of body-surface area in the development and validation data sets, respectively. In the validation data set, the creatinine-cystatin C equation performed better than equations that used creatinine or cystatin C alone. Bias was similar among the three equations, with a median difference between measured and estimated GFR of 3.9 ml per minute per 1.73 m(2) with the combined equation, as compared with 3.7 and 3.4 ml per minute per 1.73 m(2) with the creatinine equation and the cystatin C equation (P=0.07 and P=0.05), respectively. Precision was improved with the combined equation (interquartile range of the difference, 13.4 vs. 15.4 and 16.4 ml per minute per 1.73 m(2), respectively [P=0.001 and P<0.001]), and the results were more accurate (percentage of estimates that were >30% of measured GFR, 8.5 vs. 12.8 and 14.1, respectively [P<0.001 for both comparisons]). In participants whose estimated GFR based on creatinine was 45 to 74 ml per minute per 1.73 m(2), the combined equation improved the classification of measured GFR as either less than 60 ml per minute per 1.73 m(2) or greater than or equal to 60 ml per minute per 1.73 m(2) (net reclassification index, 19.4% [P<0.001]) and correctly reclassified 16.9% of those with an estimated GFR of 45 to 59 ml per minute per 1.73 m(2) as having a GFR of 60 ml or higher per minute per 1.73 m(2).The combined creatinine-cystatin C equation performed better than equations based on either of these markers alone and may be useful as a confirmatory test for chronic kidney disease.

Project description:Accurate assessment of kidney function is important for the management of solid-organ transplant recipients. In other clinical populations, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) most commonly is estimated using the CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration) creatinine or the 4-variable MDRD (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease) Study equation. The accuracy of these equations compared with other GFR estimating equations in transplant recipients has not been carefully studied.Diagnostic test study.Solid-organ transplant recipients longer than 6 months posttransplantation from 5 clinical populations (N=3,622, including recipients of kidney [53%], liver [35%], and other or multiple organs [12%]).Estimated GFR (eGFR) using creatinine-based GFR estimating equations identified from a systematic review of the literature. Performance of the CKD-EPI creatinine and the MDRD Study equations was compared with alternative equations.Measured GFR (mGFR) from urinary clearance of iothalamate or plasma clearance of iohexol.Error (difference between mGFR and eGFR) expressed as P30 (proportion of absolute percent error <30%) and mean absolute error.We identified 26 GFR estimating equations. Mean mGFR was 55.1±22.7 (SD) mL/min/1.73 m(2). P30 and mean absolute error for the CKD-EPI and the MDRD Study equations were 78.9% (99.6% CI, 76.9%-80.8%) for both and 10.6 (99.6% CI, 10.1-11.1) versus 11.0 (99.6% CI, 10.5-11.5) mL/min/1.73 m(2), respectively; these equations were more accurate than any of the alternative equations (P <0.001 for all pairwise comparisons for both measures). They performed better than or as well as the alternative equations in most subgroups defined by demographic and clinical characteristics, including type of transplanted organ.Study population included few nonwhites and people with solid-organ transplants other than liver and kidneys.The CKD-EPI creatinine and the MDRD Study equations perform better than the alternative creatinine-based estimating equations in solid-organ transplant recipients. They can be used for clinical management.

Project description:Rationale & objectiveEvaluation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is challenging in adults undergoing bariatric surgery because creatinine and cystatin C levels are influenced by changes in muscle and fat mass. Additionally, indexing of GFR by body surface area (BSA) may by affected by decreases in BSA.Study designProspective observational study.Setting & participants27 adults with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 35 kg/m2 who underwent measurement of GFR before and after bariatric surgery.OutcomesIndexed and nonindexed GFRs measured (mGFRs) using plasma iohexol clearance, indexed and nonindexed estimated GFR (eGFR) based on levels of creatinine, cystatin C, or both from Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations.Analytic approachBias and percent of estimates within 20% and 30% of mGFR (P20 and P30) for estimating equations were examined.ResultsMean presurgery BMI was 49.5 (SD, 9.4) kg/m2, BSA was 2.42 (SD, 0.27) m2, nonindexed mGFR was 117.3 (SD, 34.1) mL/min, and indexed mGFR was 84.1 (SD, 22.0) mL/min/1.73 m2. After 6 months, mean BMI changed by -13.8 (95% CI, -15.9 to -11.8) kg/m2, BSA by -0.30 (95% CI, -0.33 to -0.27) m2, and nonindexed mGFR by -9.2 (95% CI, -17.2 to -1.1) mL/min, while indexed mGFR was unchanged at 5.1 (95% CI, -0.1 to 10.4) mL/min/1.73 m2. Nonindexed eGFRcr was unbiased (median bias, 5.0 [95% CI, -4.3 to 11.6] mL/min) before surgery, but overestimated mGFR (8.8 [95% CI, 1.8 to 16.9] mL/min) after surgery. Nonindexed eGFRcys underestimated mGFR before (median bias, -12.1 [95% CI, -21.4 to -1.2] mL/min) and after surgery (-11.2 [95% CI, -21.8 to -7.3] mL/min). Nonindexed eGFRcr-cys was unbiased before (median bias, -6.0 [95% CI, -11.0 to 1.0] mL/min) and after surgery (-2.0 [95% CI, -8.8 to 4.9] mL/min). Findings were similar for indexed eGFR compared with indexed mGFR.LimitationsSmall, mostly white sample.ConclusionsChanges in indexed and nonindexed GFRs may be discordant after bariatric surgery in adults because of decreases in BSA. Indexed and nonindexed eGFRcr-cys may be less biased than indexed or nonindexed eGFRcr or eGFRcys because of opposite biases in estimating mGFR.
