Description Usage Arguments Details
Calculate the estimated glomerulal filtration rate (an estimate of renal function) based on measured serum creatinine using one of the following approaches: - Cockcroft-Gault (using weight, ideal body weight, or adjusted body weight) - Revised Lund-Malmo - Modification of Diet in Renal Disease study (MDRD) - Schwartz - Schwartz revised - Jelliffe - Jelliffe (for unstable renal function) - Wright

age |
scr |
serum creatinine (mg/dL) |
scr_unit, |
'mg/dL' or 'micromol/L' (=='umol/L') |
scr_assay, |
'jaffe' or 'enzymatic' or 'idms' |
race |
'black' or 'other' |
weight |
weight |
height |
height, only relevant when converting to/from BSA-relative unit |
bsa |
body surface area |
preterm |
is patient preterm? |
ckd |
chronic kidney disease? (Schwartz equations only) |
times |
vector of sampling times for creatinine (only used in Jelliffe equation for unstable patients) |
bsa_method |
BSA estimation method, see 'bsa()' for details |
relative |
'TRUE'/'FALSE'. Report eGFR as per 1.73 m2? Requires BSA if re-calculation required. If 'NULL' (=default), will choose value typical for 'method'. |
unit_out |
'ml/min' (default), 'L/hr', or 'mL/hr' |
