Non-invasive estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The Lund model: Simultaneous use of cystatin C- and creatinine-based GFR-prediction equations, clinical data and an internal quality check

Figures & data

Figure 1. Age-related predictions of glomerular filtration rate (mL/min/1.73 m²) at a constant creatinine level of 80 μmol/L for a female using the Lund-Malmö (LM) [44], the MDRD [37] or the Counahan-Barratt equations [43,44]. The mean heights of Swedish children of different ages [63] were used for the Counahan-Barratt equation.
