ABSTRACT
Introduction: The serum cystatin C (sCys)-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcys) is usually preferred to that of serum creatinine (eGFRcrt). However, the former is relatively more costly and may not be suitable for low- and middle-income countries such as Ghana. The study sought to determine the agreement between the sCrt- and sCys-based eGFR in pregnant and non-pregnant.
