Figure 1
Population-average bias is not representative of individual-level differences between mGFR and eGFR. Plot of calculated eGFR against mGFR of 10 nonrandomly selected participants from an observational cohort study. Numbers above each datapoint represent the individual-level differences between mGFR and eGFR. This figure illustrates how large individual-level differences between mGFR and eGFR can still yield a low population-average bias. eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; mGFR, measured glomerular filtration rate using an exogenous filtration marker.
