Equations of Liu et al for Estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) in Older Chinese Adults

Description

Liu et al reported equations for estimating the glomerular filtration rate of an older Chinese adult. The authors are from Sun Yat-sen University and South China University of Technology in Guangzhou, China.

Patient selection: Chinese adult > 60 years of age

Parameters:

(1) sex

(2) serum creatinine in mg/dL

(3) age in years

Sex	Creatinine	eGFR in mL per min per 1.73 square meters
female	<= 0.7	140 * (((creatinine) / 0.7)^(-0.176)) * (0.993 ^ (age))
female	> 0.7	127 * (((creatinine) / 0.7)^(-0.616)) * (0.993 ^ (age))
male	<= 0.9	128 * (((creatinine) / 0.9)^(-0.015)) * (0.993 ^ (age))
male	> 0.9	119 * (((creatinine) / 0.9)^(-0.688)) * (0.993 ^ (age))
