*Measured by iohexol plasma clearance.

Estimated by the 4-variable equation from Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study. No difference between treatment groups was significant within the study group considered as a whole, nor in the 2 subgroups of patients with CKD stage 3b or 4 considered separately.

CKD, chronic kidney disease; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; GFR, glomerular filtration rate; htTKV, height-adjusted total kidney volume; octreotide-LAR, octreotide long-acting release; TKV, total kidney volume.
