2. Figure 1
Schematic of 3 scenarios for (A) creatinine level and (B) glomerular filtration rate (GFR) changes in a 70-kg man whose GFR decreases by 50% at time 0. Compared with the no-intervention scenario (solid lines), intervention with fluids that dilute creatinine decreases creatinine level (dotted line in A), but does not improve GFR. An intervention causing a gradual improvement in GFR (dashed line in B) also decreases creatinine level (dashed line in A).
