Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was evaluated in 32 Wilms' tumour survivors (WTs) in a cross-sectional study using 99 Tc-diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (99 Tc-DTPA) clearance, the Schwartz formula, the new Schwartz equation for chronic kidney disease (CKD), cystatin C serum concentration and the Filler formula. Kidney damage was established by beta-2-microglobulin (B-2-M) and albumin urine excretion, urine sediment and ultrasound examination. Blood pressure was measured. No differences were found between the mean GFR in 99 Tc-DTPA and the new Schwartz equation for CKD (91.8 ± 11.3 vs. 94.3 ± 10.2 ml/min/1.73 m(2) [p = 0.55] respectively). No differences were observed between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the Schwartz formula and the Filler formula either (122.3 ± 19.9 vs. 129.8 ± 23.9 ml/min/1.73 m(2) [p = 0.28] respectively). Increased urine albumin and B-2-M excretion, which are signs of kidney damage, were found in 7 (22%) and 3 (9.4%) WTs respectively. Ultrasound signs of kidney damage were found in 14 patients (43%). Five patients (15.6%) had more than one sign of kidney damage. Eighteen individuals (56.25%) had CKD stage I (10 with signs of kidney damage; 8 without). Fourteen individuals (43.75%) had CKD stage II (6 with signs of kidney damage; 8 without). The new Schwartz equation for CKD better estimated GFR in comparison to the Schwartz formula and the Filler formula. Furthermore, the WT survivors had signs of kidney damage despite the fact that GFR was not decreased below 90 ml/min/1.73 m(2) with 99 Tc- DTPA.
