Comparison of low eGFR prevalence and prediction for mortality using 2009 and 2021 CKD-EPI equations in Mexican adults.

ABSTRACT: Accurate estimation of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is essential for identifying and managing chronic kidney disease (CKD). The CKD-EPI 2021 equation removed the race coefficient from the 2009 version, but its impact in Mexican populations remains unclear. Here, we compared eGFR category prevalence, and predictive performance between the CKD-EPI 2009 and 2021 creatinine-based eGFR equations, as well as the prognostic relevance of reclassification in eGFR categories using the 2021 equation in Mexicans. We evaluated 25,110 adults ≥20 years from the 2016-2023 cycles of the Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey (ENSANUT) to estimate national low eGFR and eGFR category prevalence using both equations. We also assessed 5-year and 10-year risk of all-cause, cardiovascular, and kidney-
