Will too much kidney function kill you: just as none at all? Nephrol. Dial. Transplant. (2015) 30 (6): 869–870. doi:10.1093/ndt/gfv126

In the final published version of this article, the following text:

Moreover, the precision of any creatinine-based GFR equation is affected by non-GFR determinants of creatinine: plasma creatinine levels strongly depend on diet, muscle metabolism and metabolic disorders. Less muscular, malnourished individuals have lower plasma creatinine and consequently lower estimated GFR than healthier individuals with the same true (measured) GFR.
