GFR CALCULATION

ADULTS:

GFR = 142 x min(standardized Scr/K,1) α * max(standardized Scr/K,1) -1.200 * 0.9938 age in years * 1.012 [if female]

where:

  • Scr = serum creatinine in mg/dL
  • K = 0.7 (females) or 0.9 (males)
  • α = -0.241 (females) or -0.302 (males)
  • min(standardized Scr/K,1) = the minimum of Scr/K or 1
  • max(standardized Scr/K,1) = the maximum of Scr/K or 1

 

PEDIATRIC: 

eGFR (mL/min/1.73m²) = 0.413 × (Height in cm / Serum Creatinine in mg/dL)
