[en] Abstract: In January 2013, the international recommendations
<br />of the KDIGO (for “ Kidney Disease: Improving
<br />Global Outcomes ” ) to define chronic kidney disease
<br />(CKD) and classify patients in CKD stages have been published.
<br />In this opinion article, we will review and discuss
<br />the most important guidelines proposed about CKD staging
<br />and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating. In
<br />particular, we question the choice of fixed knot values
<br />at 60 mL/min/1.73 m ² to define CKD. We also question
<br />the strategies proposed to measure and use cystatin C
<br />results.
