Schwartz et al reported equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in children with
Parameters:
(1) height in meters
(2) serum creatinine in mg/dL
(3) BUN in mg/dL
updated equation for eGFR in mL per min per 1.73 square meter =
= 41.3 * (height) / (serum creatinine)
Additional equations (1A, 1B, 1C, II, III) are shown in Table 3 (page 633):
1B equation for eGFR in mL per min per 1.73 square meter =
= 40.7 * (((height) / (serum creatinine))^0.64) * ((30/(BUN))^0.202)
