Figure 1 Comparison of measured and estimated GFR. Comparison of measured and estimated GFR (eGFR) for Stevens' A (a), CKD-EPI (b), and Stevens' B equations (c) on the log scale. The straight line represents identity, and the gray area indicates where the eGFR is within 30% of the measured GFR. Local regression of measured on estimated GFR by the loess method in SAS is indicated by the gray dashed lines. Abbreviations: CKD-EPI, Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration; GFR, glomerular filtration rate.
