eGFR vs eGFR

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.

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is equal to the total of the filtration rates of the functioning nephrons in the kidney. GFR is considered the optimal way to measure kidney function, which in conjunction with urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), can help determine the extent of chronic kidney disease (CKD) App allows medical professionals to estimate kidney function using eGFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate) Calculator: MDRD GFR Equation Creatinine Clearance (Cockcroft - Gault Equation) CKD-EPISODE Equations for GFR 2021 - CKD-EPI Creatinine 2021 - CKD-EPI Creatinine-Cystatin C 2009 - CKD-EPI Creatinine 2012 - CKD-EPI Cystatin C 2012 - CKD-EPI Creatinine-Cystatin C
