The CKD-EPI Creatinine Equation for Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) estimates GFR based on serum creatinine.

The joint NKF/ASN Task Force recommends using the CKD-EPI Creatinine Equation (2021) to estimate GFR. More information regarding this recommendation may be found in this article highlighting the Task Force’s recommendations. This eGFR Calculator is intended for use only by health care professionals.

2021年6月17日 · Healthcare providers use estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) to determine if you have kidney disease, and if so, what stage. eGFR measures your kidneys’ ability to filter toxins or waste from your blood. A very low number may indicate kidney failure, which requires dialysis or a kidney transplant.

2023年11月19日 · Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is divided into five stages, ranging from stage 1 to stage 5. Each stage is determined by a blood test known as the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), which establishes how well your kidneys filter waste and …

The original CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration) equation was developed in 2009 in an effort to create a more precise formula to estimate glomerular filtrate rate (eGFR) from serum creatinine and other readily available clinical parameters, especially at when actual GFR is >60 mL/min per 1.73m 2. A subsequent revision of ...

Designed for use with laboratory creatinine values that are standardized to IDMS. Estimates GFR from serum creatinine, age, sex, and race. More accurate than the MDRD Study equation, particularly in people with higher levels of GFR.

Estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in individuals ages 18 and older using the following race-free Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations. Using both creatinine and cystatin C to estimate GFR is preferred and is more accurate than using serum creatinine alone.

The eGFR calculator uses the latest equation in renal function, the CKD-EPI to estimate the rate of glomerular filtration (given patient age, gender, race and serum creatinine level). The estimation can be used on adult patients and is deemed to be more accurate than the MDRD equation.
