Units in either ml/min/1.73m2 (eGFR) or mg/dl (creatinine). AMD, age-related macular degeneration; eGFRCG and eGFRMDRD, estimated glomerular filtration rate (in ml/min/1.73m2) using the Cockcroft-Gault and MDRD formulae, respectively; SD, standard deviation (14.8 ml/min/1.73m2 for eGFRCG; 12.5 ml/min/1.73m2 for eGFRMDRD; 0.24 mg/dl for creatinine).
