Patient selection: serum creatinine > 0.177 mM (> 2 mg/dL)
Parameters:
(1) serum creatinine in millimoles per liter (not µmol/L)
(2) age in years
(3) weight in kilograms
estimated GFR for a male in mL per min per 1.73 square meters BSA =
= (7.57 / (serum creatinine)) - (0.103 * (age in years)) + (0.096 * (weight in kg)) - 6.66
estimated GFR for a female in mL per min per 1.73 square meters BSA =
= (6.05 / (serum creatinine)) - (0.08 * (age in years)) + (0.08 * (weight in kg)) - 4.81
Simplified versions were:
estimated GFR for a male in mL per min per 1.73 square meters BSA =
= (7.58 / (serum creatinine in mM)) - 4.29 =
= (86 / (serum creatinine in mg/dL)) - 4.29
estimated GFR for a female in mL per min per 1.73 square meters BSA =
= (6.11 / (serum creatinine in mM)) - 3.8 =
= (69 / (serum creatinine in mg/dL)) - 3.8
