egfr - Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) Calculators
A comprehensive, vectorised toolkit for estimating
glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and creatinine clearance from
serum creatinine, cystatin C, or both. Implements adult,
paediatric, and neonatal equations, including the Chronic
Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations
(2009, 2012, 2021), the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease
(MDRD) Study equation, Cockcroft-Gault, the European Kidney
Function Consortium (EKFC) equations, the Full Age Spectrum
(FAS) equations, the Lund-Malmoe equations, the Berlin
Initiative Study (BIS) equations, the Schwartz bedside
equation, the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children Under 25 (CKiD
U25) equations, the Caucasian, Asian, Paediatric, and Adult
(CAPA) cystatin C equation, and a neonatal equation. Helpers
for body surface area, chronic kidney disease (CKD) staging
following the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO)
guideline, and unit conversions are included. Methods are
described in Levey et al. (2009)
