From: Renal “hyperfiltrators” are at elevated risk of death and chronic diseases
Depicts graphically the median, 2.5 and 97.5 percentile GFR values estimated by the MDRD and CKD-EPI equations in healthy subjects and in those with CHD, free of chronic kidney disease, stratified by gender. Noteworthy is that differences exist between the two equation-derived estimates only in quartiles 4 (depicted in thick lines) of healthy adults and in females, but not males with CHD, implicating that serum creatinine is little involved in an autoimmune complex in men during the development of CHD.
