get_gfr_category: Categorize kidney function by GFR.

In httk: High-Throughput Toxicokinetics

Categorize kidney function by GFR.

Description

For adults: In general GFR > 60 is considered normal 15 < GFR < 60 is considered kidney disease GFR < 15 is considered kidney failure

Usage

get_gfr_category(age_years, age_months, gfr_est)

Arguments

age_years	Vector of ages in years.
age_months	Vector of ages in months.
gfr_est	Vector of estimated GFR values in mL/min/1.73m^2.

Details

These values can also be used for children 2 years old and greater (see PEDIATRICS IN REVIEW Vol. 29 No. 10 October 1, 2008 pp. 335-341 (doi: 10.1542/pir.29-10-335))

Value

Vector of GFR categories: 'Normal', 'Kidney Disease', 'Kidney Failure'.
