GFR Calculators: Serum Creatinine and Cystatin C (thru 2021)
(With SI Units)

4 variable MDRD Study Equation, CKD-EPI Cystatin C Equation (eGFRcys2012), CKD-EPI Equation (eGFRcr2009), CKD-EPI Creatinine-Cystatin C Equation(eGFRcr-cys2012), CKD-EPI Creatinine NO RACE Equation (eGFRcr2021), and CKD-EPI Creatinine - Cystatin C NO RACE Equation (eGFRcr-cys2021) (with SI Units)
using standardized serum creatinine, age, race*, gender and serum cystatin C. Also includes body surface area (BSA), GFR Not corrected to BSA of 1.73m2, Cockcroft-Gault Formula, Total Body Water (TBW) (Watson), Body Mass Index (BMI), and the Tangri Kidney Failure prediction Model.

*The RACE variable is not necessary for equations of 2021. Please contact Dr. Fadem at fadem@bcm.edu if any errors or questions

As of January 2013, many large commercial clinical laboratories have changed from using the MDRD Study equation to the CKD-EPI Creatine 2009 Equation for eGFR reporting.
