Estimating the Glomerular Filtration Rate in Pediatric Patients With Neurogenic Bladder: A Comparison Between Creatinine- and Cystatin C-Equations

Background and objective Patients with neurogenic bladder (NB) are at a higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Due to their lower muscle mass, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on creatinine (Cr) may be overestimated and delay the diagnosis of renal failure. This...
