GFR was measured as the urinary clearance of a radio-isotopic tracer and the error of estimated GFR (eGFR), was expressed as log(eGFR\/measured GFR) and analyzed with linear regression models.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 3838 patients (mean age 51\u00a0\u00b1\u00a015 years, mean measured GFR 59 \u00b1 26\u00a0ml\/min\/1.73 m\u00b2), several clinical variables were associated with significant estimation error in the multivariable analysis. For all creatinine-based equations, underestimation occurred with HIV infection, high BMI, loop diuretics, and cotrimoxazole use, while overestimation occurred with younger age, female sex, lower BMI, history of kidney transplantation, and cirrhosis. For all cystatin C-based equations, underestimation was associated with older age, HIV infection, corticosteroid use, and history of kidney transplantation; overestimation was associated with younger age, female sex, and sub-Saharan African origin. Equations using both biomarkers performed better in conditions affecting each biomarker in opposite directions. By cumulating several conditions, bias can vary from \u221250% to more than +50% leading to a completely erroneous GFR estimation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Common clinical features are independently associated with biased GFR estimation that can be of high clinical relevance, especially when cumulated.
