Table 3 Mean (95% CI) difference between the CKD-EPI and MDRD equation estimates (defined as CKD-EPI – MDRD ), stratified by level of renal function using CKD–EPI equation as reference, age (<65 years compared to ≥65 years) and gender N (Males:%), in a randomly selected representative sample of middle and older aged Irish population
