Figure 1 Incidence counts by eGFR: 1996 and 2005: All ages. Number of adult (age greater than or equal to 20) incident cases of ESRD in the United States by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) for calendar years 1996 and 2005. eGFR is calculated from the serum creatinine value reported on the CMS 2728 Medical Evidence form using the four-variable MDRD (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease) Study equation.
