egfr: Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) Calculators
A comprehensive, vectorised toolkit for estimating glomerular
filtration rate (eGFR) and creatinine clearance from serum creatinine,
cystatin C, or both. Implements adult, paediatric, and
neonatal equations, including the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology
Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations (2009, 2012, 2021), the Modification
of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study equation, Cockcroft-Gault, the
European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) equations, the Full Age
Spectrum (FAS) equations, the Lund-Malmoe equations, the Berlin
Initiative Study (BIS) equations, the Schwartz bedside equation, the
Chronic Kidney Disease in Children Under 25 (CKiD U25) equations, the
Caucasian, Asian, Paediatric, and Adult (CAPA) cystatin C equation, and
a neonatal equation. Helpers for body surface area, chronic kidney
disease (CKD) staging following the Kidney Disease: Improving Global
Outcomes (KDIGO) guideline, and unit conversions are included.
