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.

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.

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

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 …

2022年7月13日 · Your kidneys filter your blood by removing waste and extra water to make urine. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) shows how well the kidneys are filtering. An estimated 37 million adults in the United States may have chronic kidney disease (CKD) but nearly 90% are unaware of their condition.

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 ...

2024年3月12日 · A GFR below 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 may indicate a higher risk for CKD complications as well as cardiovascular disease. The normal GFR range also depends on your sex and body size. Stages...

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.

What are the Stages of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) that match eGFR levels? What does an eGFR test result mean? An eGFR below 60 for three months or more, or an eGFR above 60 with kidney damage (marked by high levels of albumin in your urine) means chronic kidney disease.
