egfr_mayo: Estimated GFR Using the Mayo Formula

In rpkyle/cscmisc: Miscellaneous Data Manipulation and Simulation Tools

Description

Computes estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using the Mayo Clinic quadratic formula.

Usage

egfr_mayo(..., scr.mg.dL, age.yr, is.female, scr.umol.L, scr.conversion.factor = 88.4)

Arguments

...	Ignored. This forces all parameters to be named, which is safer.
scr.mg.dL	Numeric. Serum creatinine in mg/dL.
age.yr	Numeric. Age in years.
is.female	Logical. TRUE for females, FALSE for males.
scr.umol.L	Numeric. Alternative specification of serum creatinine in umol/L.
scr.conversion.factor	Numeric. A factor for converting serum creatinine from umol/L to mg/dL.

Details

All arguments can be vectors.

Examples

# With serum creatinine in mg/dL
egfr_mayo(scr.mg.dL=0.9, age.yr=53, is.female=FALSE)

# With serum creatinine in umol/L
egfr_mayo(scr.umol.L=0.9*88.4, age.yr=53, is.female=FALSE)
