Figure 2

Normal values for GFR by age. GFR is shown for men (Panel a) and women (Panel b) of various ages, with the GFR measured as the urinary clearance of inulin. The horizontal line indicates a GFR value of 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, which is the threshold for the definition of CKD. Solid lines represent the mean value of GFR per decade of age, and dashed lines represent the value 1 SD from the mean value of GFR per decade of age. CKD, chronic kidney disease; GFR, glomerular filtration rate; SD, standard deviation. Adapted with permission from Wesson L.20 Physiology of the Human Kidney. Grune & Stratton: New York, 1969.
