GFR is described as the flow rate of filtered fluid through the kidney and was determined using the Cockcroft-Gault formula to calculate the creatinine clearance. For males, creatinine clearance \[milliliters per minute (mL/min)\] = \[(140 minus age) multiplied by (\*) (body weight in kilogram \[kg\]) divided by \[72 \* serum creatinine milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL)\]. For females, creatinine clearance (mL/min) = 0.85 \* \[(140 minus age) \* (body weight in kg)\] divided by \[72 \* serum creatinine (mg/dL)\]. Participants were classified based on the GFR in to two groups; GFR less than (\<) 30 mL/min and in the range of 30-60 mL/min and hemoglobin levels at different visits were presented.
