Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Estimated glomerular filtration rate variability and risk of end-stage renal disease among patients with Stage 3 chronic kidney disease.
Dynamic changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) predict death among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Whether variability in serial eGFR measurements is associated with risk of end stage renal disease (ESRD) has not been reported. ⋯ eGFR variability does not predict ESRD among patients with Stage 3 CKD.
