The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measure of how well your kidneys are removing waste from your blood, which can be determined using an estimated GFR (eGFR) test. The test gets its name from glomeruli -- the parts of your kidney that filter out waste. (Photo credit: Image Source...

Moreover, as blood creatine is predominantly derived from muscle, the estimation of the GFR based on creatine may lead to underestimated kidney function measurements among senior people and, in contrast, overestimation among younger people, especially in the case of muscular young men [14]. ...
Thus, our RF model displayed an R-squared of 0.6 and 0.5 in the training and test cohorts, respectively, meaning that 60 and 50% of the one-year eGFR variability is explained by the model. Interestingly, some metabolites that did not show any significant association with one-year eGFR ...
