Introduction Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is invasive to measure. Therefore, in clinical care, estimated GFR is derived from serum levels of endogenous filtration markers such as creatinine and cystatin C. Multiple studies from high income countries showed differences between estimated glomerular filtration rate based on cystatin C (eGFRcys) and creatinine (eGFRcr). This study aimed to assess the agreement between eGFRcys and eGFRcr in Ethiopian children and identify factors influencing high...
