Matsuo et al developed equations for estimating the glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) for patients in Japan. Creatinine generation by a Japanese adult is lower than for a Caucasian so different equations must be used. The authors are from multiple institutions in Japan.
Patient selection: Japanese adult (from 18 to 91 years)
Parameters:
(1) sex
(2) age in years
(3) serum creatinine in mg/dL
Sex
Points

GFR in mL per min per 1.83 square meters =
= (194 * ((serum creatinine)^(-1.094)) * ((age)^(-0.287))*(points for sex)
