Description

Nankivell et al developed equations for estimating the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) for a diabetic patient who has undergone simultaneous transplantation of pancreas and kidney. The authors are from the National Pancreas Transplant Unit at Westmead Hospital in Sydney, Australia.


 

Parameters:

(1) serum creatinine in µmol/L

(2) gender

(3) weight in kilograms

(4) height in centimeters

(5) age in years

GFR in mL per minute by equation 1 =

= (5520 / (serum creatinine in µmol/L)) + (points for gender) + (0.27 * (body weight)) - (0.5 * (age in years)) - (0.29 * (height in cm))

 

GFR in mL per minute by equation 2 =

= (5000 / (serum creatinine in µmol/L)) + (points for gender)
