Compares the EKFC and CKD-EPI 2009 equations for estimating kidney function in transplant recipients, suggesting minimal clinical relevance of differences.
In kidney transplant recipients, EKFC and CKD-EPI 2009 show high correlation and are largely interchangeable. EKFC yields slightly lower eGFR values, particularly in women, older patients, and those with mild CKD, but the magnitude of these differences is small and of limited clinical relevance. These findings are consistent with the literature in this underrepresented population.
