Figure 2

Bland-Altman plot of the eGFR measurements by CG and MDRD equations. Differences between eGFR measurements by CG/BSA and MDRD equation were plotted against the mean of two. The solid horizontal line represents the mean difference or the estimated bias. The MDRD equation had a positive bias as compared to CG/BSA equation, suggesting that MDRD equation overestimated GFR in the study population. The limits of agreement between two equations were broad (Males: -4.27 to 45.95 ml/min/1.73 m2, Females: -11.88 to 28.82 ml/min/1.73 m2). The thin dotted line represents a linear fit of data point. There was an increase in variance of MDRD eGFR estimates across eGFR range. eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; CG/BSA, Cockcroft-Gault equation corrected for body surface area; MDRD, modification of diet in renal disease equation.
