Table 1. Estimated glomerular filtration rate equations.

Jelliffe Men: (98–0.8 x (age—20)) / Scr; women: (98–0.8 x (age—20)) / Scr x 0.9
Cockcroft Gault ABW Men: ((140—age) x ABW) / (Scr x 72); women: ((140—age) x ABW) / (Scr x 72) x 0.85
Cockcroft Gault IBW Men: ((140—age) x IBW) / (Scr x 72); women: ((140—age) x IBW) / (Scr x 72) x 0.85; with IBW = 50 kg + (0.906 x (height-152.4)) in men and 45.5 kg + (0.906 x (height-152.4)) in women
Cockcroft Gault LBW Men: ((140—age) x LBW) / (Scr x 72); women: ((140—age) x LBW) / (Scr x 72) x 0.85; with LBW = (9270 x ABW) / (6680 + (216 x BMI)) in men and (9270 x ABW) / (8780 + (244 x BMI)) in women
Cockcroft Gault ADBW Men: ((140—age) x ADBW) / (Scr x 72); women: ((140—age) x ADBW) / (Scr x 72) x 0.85; with ADBW = IBW + (0.4 x (ABW—IBW))
Cockcroft Gault NBW Men: (140—age) / Scr; women: (140—age) / Scr x 0.85
Salazar-Corcoran Men: ((137—age x ((0.285 x weight) + (12.1 x height2))) / (51 x Scr); women: ((146—age x ((0.287 x weight) + (9.74 x height2))) / (60 x Scr)
MDRD Men: 186 x Scr−1.154 x age−0.203; women: 186 x Scr−1.154 x age−0.203 0.742
CKD-EPI Women when Scr ≤0.7: 144 x (Scr / 0.7)−0.329 x 0.993age and when Scr >0.7: 144 x (Scr / 0.7)−1.209 x 0.993age; men when Scr ≤0.9: 141 x (Scr 0.9) −0.411 x 0.993age and when Scr >0.9: 141 x (Scr / 0.9)−1.209 x 0.993age

Ideal body weight was calculated using the formula by Devine (34) with height measured in centimeters. In the Salazar-Corcoran equation, weight is expressed in kilogram and height in meter.

Scr = serum creatinine, AWB = actual body weight, IBW = ideal body weight, LBW = lean body Weight, ADBW = adjusted body weight, NBW = no body weight, MDRD = Modification of Diet in Renal Disease, CKD-EPI = Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration.
