Formula of Asnani et al for Estimating GFR from Serum Creatinine in a Patient with Homozygous Sickle Cell Disease (Jamaica Sickle Cell Cohort Study, JSCCS)

Description

Asnani et al reported an equation for estimating the glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) for patients who are homozygous for sickle cell disease. The authors are from University of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica.


 

Patient selection: homozygous SS

 

Parameters:

(1) gender

(2) height in cm

(3) serum creatinine in mg/dL

Gender

Points

male

1

female

1.14

 

eGFR in mL per min per 1.73 square meter =

= 192,914.02 * ((serum creatinine)^(-0.425)) * ((height)^(-1.533)) * (points for gender)

 

Performance:

• The equation performed better than the MDRD and CKDEPI formulae.
