3D Plot-Effects of Arsenic and Lead on eGFR. The patients were divided into four groups according to the median of the metal concentrations: Group 1: Low Lead/Low Arsenic: eGFR ± SEM: 96.33 ± 0.158 ml/min/1.73m2, N = 15,832. Group 2: Low Lead/ Elevated Arsenic: eGFR ± SEM: 95.89 ± 0.124 ml/min/1.73m2, N = 25,670. Group 3: Elevated Lead/Low Arsenic: eGFR ± SEM: 89.92 ± 0.141 ml/min/1.73m2, N = 17,339. Group 4: Elevated Lead/ Elevated Arsenic; eGFR ± SEM: 91.83 ± 0.116 ml/min/1.73m2, N = 27,177. Group 1 versus group 4: p < 0.001. Group 2 versus group 4: p < 0.001. Group 3 versus group 4: p = 0.017.
