The reference interval for SCr designed for European descent children can be applied to African children. Of all the equations studied, FAS-Age performed best and is most suitable because no height measurements are required. Establishment of specific Q-values for the widespread Jaffe-measured creatinine in Africa can further broaden applicability.
