Spaghetti plots (up) and trajectory of eGFR changes (down) during follow-up in each CKD etiology group. Each colors of spaghetti plot indicates trajectory of each patients (up) and the black line represents the mean estimated eGFR trajectory of each groups (with 95% CI represented by the gray shaded area). The trajectory are classified into two types. DN showed a linear decline in eGFR but GN, HTN and PKD showed a convex decline with acceleration of the annual eGFR decline in advanced CKD stages. DN, diabetic nephropathy; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; GN, glomerulonephritis; HTN, hypertensive nephropathy; PKD, polycystic kidney disease.
