Glomerular filtration rate (GFR)

It is a test used to check how well the kidneys are working. importantly, it estimates how much blood passes through the glomeruli each minute.

Estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) from serum creatinine in children is the Bedside Schwartz equation.

For Children :

This formula is for people aged 18 years or younger.

GFR (mL/min/1.73 m2) = (36.2 × Height in cm) / Creatinine in μmol/L< (SI Units)/p>

GFR (mL/min/1.73 m2) = (0.41 × Height in cm) / Creatinine in mg/dL (conventional units)

MDRD for Adults :

GFR (mL/min/1.73 m2) = 175 × (Scr/88.4)-1.154 × (Age)-0.203 × (0.742 if female) × (1.212 if African American) (SI units)

GFR (mL/min/1.73 m2) = 175 × (Scr)-1.154 × (Age)-0.203 × (0.742 if female) × (1.212 if African American) (conventional units)

CKD-EPI Adults :

GFR = 141 × min(Scr/k, 1)α × max(Scr/k, 1)-1.209 × 0.993Age × 1.018 [if female] × 1.159 [if African American] (SI Units)

Where,

Scr is serum creatinine in μmol/L,

α is 61.9 for females and 79.6 for males,

a is -0.329 for females and -0.411 for males,

min indicates the minimum of Scr/k or 1, and

max indicates the maximum of Scr/k or 1

GFR = 141 × min(Scr/k, 1)α × max(Scr/k, 1)-1.209 × 0.993Age × 1.018 [if female] × 1.159 [if African American] (conventional units)

Where,

Scr is serum creatinine in mg/dL,

α is 0.7 for females and 0.9 for males,

a is -0.329 for females and -0.411 for males,

min indicates the minimum of Scr/k or 1,

max indicates the maximum of Scr/k or 1

Mayo Quadratic Formula

If SCr < 0.8 mg/dL, use 0.8 mg/dL for SCr

GFR = e(1.911 + 5.249/SCr - 2.114/SCr2 - 0.00686 × age - (0.205 if female))

Where,

e = 2.71828182845905

Convert μmol/l and mg/dl :

μmol/l is the most common measurement used in the UK with mg/dL predominantly used in the united states.

To convert μmol/l to mg/dl, multiply by 0.0113. To convert mg/dl to μmol/l, multiply by 88.4.
