Distribution of estimated glomerular filtration rate and determinants of its age dependent loss in a German population-based study
Abstract Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) declines with age by approx. 1 ml/min/m2 per year beginning in the third decade of life. At 70 years of age > 40 ml/min/m2 of GFR will be lost. Thus, factors affecting loss of GFR have significant public health implications. Furthermore, the definition of...
