Evaluation and application of estimation of glomerular filtration rate based on serum creatinine and cystatin C in renal function staging / 中华流行病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the accordance of chronic kidney disease (CKD) staging between the CKD-EPI2009 equation, the CKD-EPI2012 equation and the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) equation and compare the predictive value of common cardiovascular disease. Methods A total of 11151 adults from Jurong area, Jiangsu province, were surveyed from September to November in 2015 and their serum creatinine and cystatin C were detected. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated by three equations. Results In the individuals with history of chronic renal insufficiency, the results of CKD staging of CKD-EPI2009 equation and CKD-EPI2012 equation were all consistent with that of MDRD equation (P<0.001), and the consistence between CKD-EPI2012 equation and CKD-EPI2009 equation was even higher. In the people without history of CKD, the results of CKD staging of CKD-EPI2009 equation and CKD-EPI2012 equation were also highly consistent with the results of MDRD equation (P<0.001) and Ka ppa values were 0.662 and 0.654 respectively whilst the results of CKD staging estimated by CKD-EPI2012 equation and MDRD equation were only moderately consistent (Ka ppa=0.436, P<0.001). In the whole observational population, the CKD staging results of MDRD equation, CKD-EPI2009 equation and CKD-EPI2012 equation had a good consistency evaluated by Band-Altman method. The consistency of CKD staging between CKD-EPI (2009, 2012) equation and MDRD equation was higher in ≥70 years old group than that in<70 years old group as well as in males than in females. For predicting hypertension, the AUCs of CKD-EPI equations calculated GFRs were significantly higher than that of MDRD equation;the AUCs of CKD-EPI2012 equation calculated GFR for predicting stroke and coronary heart disease were higher than that of MDRD equations whereas no significant difference in GFR prediction result was found between CKD-EPI2009 equation and MDRD equation. Conclusion MDRD equation and CKD-EPI equation for GFR estimation have high consistency in CKD staging whilst the predictive value of chronic cardiovascular disease by CKD-EPI equation estimated GFR was higher than that of MDRD equation.
