Figure 1a. The correlation between GFRI and tested eGFR. The GFRI value – on horizontal axis. On the vertical axes tested eGFR according to original equations: (GFRScr, GFRScrBS, GFRF, GFRZ, GFRS3M, respectively). The slash line is presenting the difference ± 30% to GFRI. The horizontal and vertical lines on plots mean values: 60 and 90 mL/min/1.73 m2.
