eGFR vs NKF KDOQI

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 NKF KDOQI are recognized throughout the world for improving the diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease, the KDOQI guidelines have changed the practices of numerous specialties and disciplines and improved the lives of thousands of kidney patients. Recognized throughout the world for improving the diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease, the KDOQI guidelines have changed the practices of numerous specialties and disciplines and improved the lives of thousands of kidney patients. This application provides a access to these guidelines. In addition to guideline development, KDOQI aims to improve clinical practice through collaboration with wider policy and education programs designed to support implementation of guideline recommendations. Clinical Practice Guidelines are documents that present evidence-based recommendations to aid clinicians in the treatment of particular diseases or groups of patients. They are not intended to be mandates but tools to help physicians, patients, and caregivers make treatment decisions that are right for the individual. With all guidelines, clinicians should be aware that circumstances may appear that require straying from the published recommendations.
