CKD-EPI equation for GFR.

Description

Predict GFR from serum creatinine, gender, and age.

Usage

ckd_epi_eq(scr, gender, reth, age_years, ckd_epi_race_coeff = FALSE)

Arguments

scr	Vector of serum creatinine values in mg/dL.
gender	Vector of genders (either 'Male' or 'Female').
reth	Vector of races/ethnicities. Not used unless ckd_epi_race_coeff is TRUE.
age_years	Vector of ages in years.
ckd_epi_race_coeff	Whether to use the "race coefficient" in the CKD-EPI equation. Default is FALSE.
