Abstract
Glomerular filtration rate is a key physiologic variable with a central role in clinical decision making and a strong association with prognosis in diverse populations. Reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is common among adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD).We conducted a prospective cohort study of outpatient ACHD ≥18 years old seen in 2012-2017. Creatinine and cystatin C were measured; eGFR was calculated using either...
