Project: Kidney Function Prediction for Individuals Consider Living Kidney Donation
Lead: Fawaz
Background: Individuals who donate a kidney lose 50% of their nephron mass. Kidney reserve capacity varies by individual characteristics. Reduced 6-month post-donation creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcr) is associated with increased long-term risk of kidney failure. We sought to inform the individual predicted 6-month post-donation creatinine and expected eGFRcr using the race-free CKD-EPI 2021.
