This threshold has been defended by epidemiological studies showing that the risk of mortality or end-stage renal disease increases with an eGFR below 60 mL/min/1.73m 2. Current recommendations argue that a universal threshold of 60 mL/min/1.73m 2 should be used. The debate concerns the threshold value of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) used to make the diagnosis of CKD. ![]() Defining chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the subject of intense debate in the current nephrology literature. ![]()
