Abstract
While low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and mortality, the clinical significance of variability in eGFR over time is uncertain. We aimed to evaluate the association between variability in eGFR and the risk of CVD events and all-cause mortality.
