Mattman et al reported 2 equations for estimating the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in pediatric patients. The authors are from British Columbia's Children's and Women's Hospital (BCCH) and the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
Patient selection: ages 1.1 to 19.7
Parameters (1) weight in kilograms
(2) height in centimeters
(3) serum creatinine in µmol/L
(4) age in years
(5) sex (1 if male, 0 if female)
X =
= (0.0016 * (weight)) + (0.01 * (height)) + (149.5/(creatinine)) - (2141/((creatinine)^2)) + 1.18
eGFR in mL per min per 1.73 sq m (BCCH1) =
= EXP(X)
eGFR in mL per min per 1.73 sq m (BCCH2) =
= (4.83 * (age)) + (10.02 * (points for sex)) + (5886/(creatinine)) - 61.56
