Abstract
Background: Accurate preoperative evaluation of renal function in living kidney donor candidates (LKDCs) is crucial to prevent kidney failure after nephrectomy. We examined the performance of various estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations, including the new chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation in LKDCs.
Methods: We analyzed 752 LKDCs who were assessed for measured GFR by inulin clearance as part of routine pretransplant examination from 2006 to 2020. CKD-EPI2012 from cystatin C (CKD-EPI12cys), CKD-EPI2021 from creatinine (CKD-EPI21cr), CKD-EPI21cr-cys, Japanese modified (JPN) eGFRcr, and JPN eGFRcys were compared in determining the suitability for LKDCs.
Results: CKD-EPI12cys had the lowest absolute and relative biases, with higher P30 and P10, followed by JPN eGFRcys, CKD-EPI21cr, and CKD-EPI21cr-cys. The root mean square error was least for CKD-EPI12cys, then JPN eGFRcys, CKD-EPI21cr-cys, CKD-EPI21cr, and JPN eGFRcr. CKD-EPI21cr, CKD-EPI12cys, and CKD-EPI21cr-cys estimated GFR higher, whereas JPN eGFRcr estimated GFR lower. At the threshold of 90 mL/min/1.73 m2, CKD-EPI21cr had the highest percentage of misclassification at 37.37%, whereas JPN eGFRcr had the lowest percentage of misclassification at 6.91%. Using the age-adapted approach, JPN eGFRcr had the lowest percentage of misclassification into overestimation at 7.31%. All eGFR had >5.0%, and CKD-EPI21cr had the highest percentage of misclassification at 21.94%. Conversely, CKD-EPI21cr-cys had the lowest percentage of misclassification into underestimation at 3.19%, both at the threshold of 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 and the age-adapted approach. JPN eGFRcr had the highest percentage at 33.38% and 40.69%, respectively.
Conclusions: In evaluating the renal function of Japanese LKDCs, the new CKD-EPI equation had a lower rate of underestimation but a relatively high rate of overestimation. New GFR estimation formulas are needed to be tailored to each ethnic group to enhance the accuracy and reliability of donor selection processes.
