About The Study: In the Chronic Kidney Disease Prognosis Consortium, 11% of outpatient participants and 35% of hospitalized patients had a cystatin C–based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcys) that was at least 30% lower than their creatinine-based eGFR (eGFRcr). In the outpatient setting, presence of eGFRcys at least 30% lower than eGFRcr was associated with significantly higher rates of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events, and kidney failure.
