Accuracy of GFR Estimation in Obese Patients

Key Points

Abstract

This study shows that, in obese CKD patients, the performance of eGFRCKD-EPI is good for GFR ≤ 60 ml/min per 1.73 m(2). Indexation of mGFR with body surface area using ideal body weight gives less bias than mGFR scaled with body surface area using real body weight.
