Bodenkamp et al reported equations for estimated the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in children from the serum cystatin and creatinine. The authors are from Hannover Medical School in Germany.
Patient selection: 0.24 to 17.96 years
Parameters:
(1) serum cystatin C in mg/L
(2) serum creatinine in µmol/L
(3) height in cm
serum GFR in mL per min per 1.73 square meter =
= (162 / (cystatin)) - 30
serum GFR in mL per min per 1.73 square meter =
= (38.4 * (height) / (serum creatinine)
