- Abstract
Equations for the creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were recently established for Japanese adults (>18 years old) and children (2-11 years old), respectively, but it is unclear whether eGFR can be as useful as 24-h creatinine clearance (CCr) for assessing renal function in patients receiving chemotherapy. This study examined the degree of concordance between eGFR and CCr and the risk factors leading to the overestimation of renal function by eGFR.
