Conventional creatinine‐based glomerular filtration rate (GFR) equations are insufficiently accurate for estimating GFR in cirrhosis. The Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD‐EPI) recently proposed an equation to estimate GFR in subjects without cirrhosis using both serum creatinin...
