Variability in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate by Area under the Curve Predicts Renal Outcomes in Chronic Kidney Disease

Table 5

Predictive values of eGFR variability in relation to renal end points.

Method	likelihood ratio	value
Initial eGFR AUC%_12M	141.782	<0.001
Peak eGFR AUC%_12M	42.258	<0.001
eGFR slope_12M	136.870	<0.001

value was based on the incremental value compared with the previous model which was adjusted for age, sex, a history of diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, albumin, fasting glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, hemoglobin, eGFR, total calcium, phosphorous, CaXP product, uric acid, urine protein-to-creatinine ratio, ACEI and/or ARB use, and acute kidney injury episode.
