Estimations of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are based on analyses of creatinine and cystatin C, respectively. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) often have acute kidney injury (AKI) and are at increased risk of drug‐induced kidney injury. The aim of this study was to compare creatinine‐based eGFR equations to cystatin C‐based eGFR in ICU patients with COVID‐19.
