“…This threshold is based on a mortality risk increase at an eGFR below 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 , observed primarily among relatively young individuals aged 55-64 years. However, the association between mortality risk and kidney function might in part be age dependent, as demonstrated by the fact that at younger ages, even with an apparently adequate function (eGFR < 75 mL/min/1.73 m 2 , stages 2-5), mortality risk is increased [5][6][7]. Elderly individuals must have considerably more impaired function to have a similar magnitude of risk (eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73 m 2 , stages 3b-5) [8][9][10].…”
