Description

Horio et al reported an equation for estimating the glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) for an adult in Japan. This is based on the CKD-EPI for cystatin. The authors are from Osaka University, Nagoya University and Fukushima Medical University in Japan.


Parameters:

(1) serum cystatin C in mg/L

(2) age in years

(3) sex

 

Sex

Points

male

1

female

0.929

 

eGFR in mL per min per 1.73 sq m =

= (104 * ((cystatin)^(-1.019)) * (0.996^(age)) * (points for sex)) - 8
