- Abstract
Background: Young autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) patients are becoming the new target population for the development of new treatment options. Determination of a reliable equation for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from early stages is needed with the promising potential interventional therapies. Methods: Prospective and longitudinal study on a cohort of 68 genotyped ADPKD patients (age range 0–23 years) with long-term follow-up. Commonly used equations for eGFR were compared for their relative performance. Results: The revised Schwartz formula (CKiD) showed a highly significant decline in eGFR with aging (− 3.31 mL/min/1.73 m2/year, P < 0.0001). The recently updated equation by the Schwartz group (CKiDU25) showed a smaller (− 0.90 mL/min/1.73 m2/year) but significant (P = 0.001) decline in eGFR with aging and also showed a significant sex difference (P < 0.0001), not observed by the other equations. In contrast, the full age spectrum (FAS) equations (FAS-SCr, FAS-CysC, and the combined) showed no age and sex dependency. The prevalence of hyperfiltration is highly dependent on the formula used, and the highest prevalence was observed with the CKiD Equation (35%). Conclusions: The most widely used methods to calculate eGFR in ADPKD children (CKiD and CKiDU25 equations) were associated with unexpected age or sex differences. The FAS equations were age- and sex-independent in our cohort. Hence, the switch from the CKiD to CKD-EPI equation at the transition from pediatric to adult care causes implausible jumps in eGFR, which could be misinterpreted. Having reliable methods to calculate eGFR is indispensable for clinical follow-up and clinical trials.
