Fig. 1From: Association between lower serum bicarbonate and renal hyperfiltration in the general population with preserved renal function: a cross-sectional studyThe adjusted mean of estimated glomerular filtration rate according to the quintile groups of serum bicarbonate level using a generalized linear model, after adjustment for possible confounding variables (see Methods for details). The error bars represent 95 % confidence intervals of the adjusted mean and asterisks indicate significant difference from the highest quintile group of serum bicarbonate level (p < 0.0001)Back to article page
