The equations to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are normally used to assess renal function. Most traditional equations have limited precision. Recently a new equation for the calculation of the GFR has been developed and published. This 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 the GFR are the value of serum creatinine (expressed well in umol/l or mg/dl), sex, race and age. In recent studies publications, it has been evident that the CKD-EPI equation is more accurate than the MDRD study equation along a wide variety of clinical populations and conditions. This greater accuracy of the CKD-EPI equation can benefit the estimation of renal function in daily clinical practice.

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 CKD-EPI formula is explained.
