The equations to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are normally used to assess renal function. Most traditional equations have limited accuracy. Recently a new equation for calculating GFR has been developed and published. It is the CKD-EPI equation that has been shown to be more accurate than other more traditional equations. The variables included in the CKD-EPI equation to estimate GFR are the serum creatinine value (expressed either in umol / L or in mg / dL), sex, race and age. In recent published studies, it has become clear that the CKD-EPI equation is more accurate than the MDRD study equation across a wide variety of populations and clinical conditions.
This application will allow you to perform GFR calculations through the CKD-EPI equation in a simple, fast and intuitive way. Once the calculations have been made, you can send a brief report to an email account. You can also consult the scientific publication where the rational for the development of the formula CKD-EPI is explained.
