Estimation of GFR in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Our study suggests that none of the eGFR formulae work well in this small cohort of pediatric patients with CF with preserved body composition, possibly due to inflammation causing false elevations of CysC. Based on the small numbers, we cannot conclude which eGFR formula is best.
