3D Plot-Effects of Arsenic and Mercury on eGFR. The patients were divided into four groups according to the median of the metal concentrations: Group 1: Low Arsenic/Low Mercury: eGFR ± SEM: 94.97 ± 0.158 ml/min/1.73m2, N = 16,650. Group 2: Low Arsenic / Elevated Mercury: eGFR ± SEM: 91.43 ± 0.138 ml/min/1.73m2, N = 17,182. Group 3: Elevated Arsenic /Low Mercury: eGFR ± SEM: 93.63 ± 0.157 ml/min/1.73m2, N = 16,376. Group 4: Elevated Arsenic / Elevated Mercury; eGFR ± SEM: 90.07 ± 0.134 ml/min/1.73m2, N = 16,908. Group 1 versus group 4: p < 0.001. Group 2 versus group 4: p < 0.001. Group 3 versus group 4: p < 0.001.
