Estimation of Glomerular Filtration Rate Based on Serum Cystatin C versus Creatinine in a Uruguayan Population
Figure 2
Mean and mean ±1 standard deviation interval of eGFRcys (◆), eGFRmdrd (■), eGFRepi (▲), and eGFRmix (●) across fourths of the distribution of eGFRcys. The abbreviations eGFRcys, eGFRmdrd, eGFRepi, and eGFRmix indicate estimated glomerular filtration rate derived from serum cystatin C, from serum creatinine according to the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease or the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equations, or from both serum cystatin C and creatinine. eGFRmdrd, eGFRepi, and eGFRmix were consistently higher () than eGFRcys except in the highest category of eGFRcys ().
