eGFRcr and eGFRcys are glomerular filtration rates estimated by CKD-EPI equations using plasma creatinine and cystatin C, respectively; mGFR, measured glomerular filtration rate by iohexol clearance.

a

Bias defined as median difference between estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and measured GFR (25th percentile, 75th percentile).

b

P values in bold font indicate difference is statistically significant accounting for multiple comparisons (see text).

c

Medians 8.3% and 3.8% in HIV-positive and HIV-negative groups, respectively.

d

Medians 30.7% and 10.7% in HIV-positive and HIV-negative groups, respectively.
