Journal: Transplantation direct
Published Date: Nov 8, 2017

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Assessment of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is important in kidney transplantation. The aim was to develop a kidney transplant specific equation for estimating GFR and evaluate against published equations commonly used for GFR estimation in these patients.
