eGFR vs CrCl

As an important parameter for assessing kidney function, the glomerular filtration rate, or GFR, is widely used. With the eGFR app, you can calculate an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on serum creatinine. For children and adolescents up to 18 years of age, the Schwartz formula is available. For adults, the CKD-EPI, MDRD and Cockcroft-Gault formulas can be used depending on the desired calculation. In addition, the app provides background information on the individual formulas, guidance on the interpretation of GFR values, and information on risk reduction. The eGFR app is intended solely for calculation and informational purposes and does not replace medical diagnosis, advice or treatment. Medical decisions should not be made solely on the basis of the information provided in the app. In case of health concerns, abnormal values, or before making medical decisions, medical advice should be sought.

The Creatinine Clearance Calculator allows quick and simple estimation of the renal function of patients using the Cockcroft-Gault equation, this application is aimed exclusively at health professionals. • The equation was published in 1976 and has been routinely used in the adjustment of drug doses. • It was developed to assess creatinine clearance from a population of 236 adult individuals, with an average creatinine clearance value of 72.7 mL / min • To obtain the equation a regression analysis was used in which the serum creatinine concentration, age and weight. The user is responsible for the use of the app once installed on their device.
