Hi
I looked at the Table in the link John sent and was interested in the eGFR values used in the stratification of CKD.
Is anyone concerned about whether the uncertainty requirements for eGFR estimation that would enable laboratories accurately and reliably to discriminate between values of, say, 44 & 45 mL/min/1.73m^2, can be achieved?
These two articles may be informative!

Cheers
