DOI: 10.1007/s00467-025-06942-8
Abstract: Accurate glomerular filtration rate estimation (eGFR) is essential for managing pediatric kidney transplant recipients. Given the physiology of pediatric patients receiving adult-donor kidneys, identifying the most appropriate plasma creatinine (PCr)-based formula—pediatric or adult-specific—is crucial. This… read more here.
