El-Minashawy and El-Bassuoni reported an equation for estimating the glomerular filtration rate based on patients in Egypt. The authors are from El Minia University in Egypt.
Parameters:
(1) serum creatinine in mg/dL
(2) age in years
(3) body surface area in square meters
(4) sex
Parameter
Points
serum creatinine
((serum creatinine) / 0.9)^(-1.209)
age in years
0.993^(age)
body surface area (BSA)
(BSA)^(0.1)
sex
1.018 if female; 1 if male
GFR in mL per min per 1.73 square meter =
= 141 * (points for creatinine) * (points for age) * (points for BSA) * (points for sex)
