5 BRS/RA INTEGRATED CONFERENCE 2006At What Level Does Quantification of Estimated GFR Cease to Become Useful?. M Kao Department of Renal Medicine, Ninewells Hospital,The level of correlation declined with increasing GFR (r2 value of 0.661 in GFR<60 ml/min/1.73m2, r2 of 0.255 in GFR between 60-90 ml/min/1.73m2 and r2 of 0.068 in GFR >90 ml/min/1.73m2). eGFR progressively underestimated with increasing GFR.
