Abstract
The age related association with GFR estimates is smaller for creatinine estimates than for cystatin C estimates. This leads to differences in the number of patients with reduced eGFR detected with the three estimates and the patient treatment will depend on the estimate used. This is not coherent with a good patient care and we thus need to develop new eGFR equations with better agreement between the estimates.
