The impact of baseline glomerular filtration rate on subsequent changes of glomerular filtration rate in patients with chronic kidney disease

Abstract Higher baseline glomerular filtration rate (GFR) may yield subsequent steeper GFR decline, especially in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). However, this correlation in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the presence or absence of DM remains controversial. We conducted a long...
