Estimation of age and sex-specific Glomerular Filtration Rate and its association with mortality and atherosclerotic cardiovascular outcomes in the Abu Dhabi population; A Retrospective Cohort Study
These ethnicity-specific eGFR reference values are valuable for the early identification of patients with chronic kidney disease, allowing for early qualification for beneficial preventive medication, evaluations, and nephrologist referrals. A prognostic definition of the higher eGFR threshold, as renal hyperfiltration, is suggested since the 97th percentile had a significantly higher incidence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
