Estimation of GFR in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis: A Cross-SectionalStudy

摘要

Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) have frequent infectious complicationsrequiring nephrotoxic medications, necessitating monitoring of renalfunction. Although adult studies have suggested that cystatin C (CysC)-basedestimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) may be preferable due to reducedmuscle mass of patients with CF, pediatric patients remain understudied.
