Bland-Altman plots for comparison between equations that include cystatin C and equations based on creatinine alone among 7001 adults aged 18–79 in Germany 2008–2011 (DEGS1). MDRD: Modification of Diet in Renal Disease study equation; CKD-EPIcre: Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration creatinine equation; CKD-EPIcys: Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration cystatin C equation; CKD-EPIcrecys: Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration creatinine and cystatin C equation; LM: Lund-Malmö equation. Solid, horizontal lines represent the mean difference between the eGFR. Dashed, horizontal lines represent the limit of agreement between the equations. Solid, vertical lines represent the eGFR cut-off value for a decreased kidney function (60 ml/min/1.73m²)
