Threshold value for 3-year MAE development. Figure legend: After adjustments for age, BMI, diabetes, NYHA III-IV, RRT, we found that relative to the patients who recovered to within 0% of the baseline SCr, the threshold value at which a significant difference in 3-year MAE was observed was more than 30% (Fig. 1a) or more than 0.4 mg/dL (Fig. 1b) above baseline SCr. Relative to the patients who recovered to ≥100% baseline eGFR, the threshold value at which a significant difference in 3-year MAE was observed was < 70% of baseline eGFR (Fig. 1c).
