To evaluate the
performance of renal function markers in the elderly. 105 individuals over 60
years old were divided in group A (60 to 79) and group B (≥ 80 years old) to
determine the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using creatinine and
cystatin C equations.
In group A, the
best correlations were observed between the serum creatinine levels and the
eGFR calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology
Collaboration (CKD-EPI) creatinine, and the
cystatin C levels with CKD-EPI cystatin and Larsson equations, and in group B,
between creatinine and CKD-EPI creatinine-cystatin and CKD-EPI cystatin and
cystatin with CKD-EPI cystatin equation.
