Estimated GFR (eGFR) has been used to predict this outcome recognizing its robust association with renal disease progression and the eventual need for dialysis in large, mainly cross-sectional epidemiological studies. However, GFR is implicitly limited as follows: (1) GFR reflects only one of the many physiological functions of the kidney; (2) it is dependent on several non-renal factors; (3) it has intrinsic variability that is a function of dietary intake, fluid and cardiovascular status, and blood pressure especially with impaired autoregulation or medication use; (4) it has been shown to change with age with a unique non-linear pattern; and (5) eGFR may not correlate with GFR in certain conditions and disease states. Yet, many clinicians, especially our non-nephrologist colleagues, tend to regard eGFR obtained from a simple laboratory test as both a valid reflection of renal function and a reliable diagnostic tool in establishing the diagnosis of CKD. What is the validity of these beliefs? This review will critically reassess the limitations of such single-focused attention, with a particular focus on inter-individual variability. What does science actually tell us about the usefulness of eGFR in diagnosing CKD?<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/toxins14020127","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,8]],"date-time":"2022-02-08T23:42:20Z","timestamp":1644363740000},"page":"127","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate in Chronic Kidney Disease: A Critical Review of Estimate-Based Predictions of Individual Outcomes in Kidney Disease"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Lajos","family":"Zsom","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Fresenius Medical Care, Cegl\u00e9d Dialysis Center, T\u00f6rteli u 1-3,  2700 Cegl\u00e9d, Hungary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marianna","family":"Zsom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, St. R\u00f3kus Hospital, R\u00f3kus u 10,  6500 Baja, Hungary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sohail Abdul","family":"Salim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Division of Nephrology, University of Mississippi, 2500 N State St., Jackson, MS 39216, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3346-7040","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tibor","family":"F\u00fcl\u00f6p","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Division of Nephrology, Medical University of South Carolina, 96 Jonathan Lucas Street, MSC 629, CSB 822, Charleston, SC 29425, USA"},{"name":"Medicine Services, Ralph H.
