Table 1. Formulas used for the estimation of glomerular filtration rate (ml/min/1.73 m2).

Equation Condition Formula
CKD-EPI Female; PCr ≤ 61.88 μmol/l eGFR = 144 × [PCr (μmol/l)/61.88]−0.329 × [0.993]Age × [1.159 if black]
Female; PCr > 61.88 μmol/l eGFR = 144 × [PCr (μmol/l)/61.88]−1.209 × [0.993]Age × [1.159 if black]
Male; PCr ≤ 79.56 μmol/l eGFR = 141 × [PCr (μmol/l)/79.56]−0.411 × [0.993]Age × [1.159 if black]
Male; PCr > 79.56 μmol/l eGFR = 141 × [PCr (μmol/l)/79.56]−1.209 × [0.993]Age × [1.159 if black]
Schwartz eGFR = 36.5 × height (cm)/PCr (μmol/l)

To convert PCr values in μmol/l to mg/dl, divide by 88.4.
