How To Use

How to use this calculator

Start with your values, or try a preset.

Step 1

Enter Age (years), Serum Creatinine (mg/dL), Gender, and Race in the units shown.

Step 2

Read GFR (CKD-EPI Equation) (mL/min/1.73 m²) and GFR (MDRD Equation) (mL/min/1.73 m²) in the results panel. Results update as you change the inputs.

Step 3

Choose a preset to load an example, then adjust the values for your situation.
