Core Tip	An accurate evaluation of allograft function is essential in the management of kidney transplant. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR), is generally considered the best index of graft function. Endogenous markers, such as serum creatinine or cystatin C, are used to estimate kidney function, and equations using these markers adjusted to other variables, are an attempt to improve accuracy in estimation of GFR. This article will review and discuss the performance and limitations of these endogenous markers and their equations as estimators of GFR in the kidney transplant recipients, and their ability in predicting clinical outcomes.
