Estimated GFR (eGFR) formulae in human patients

Predicted clearance Formula Variable
Cockcroft‐gault Creatinine clearance [(140 ‐ age) × BW/f] × SCr Age (yrs), BW; body weight (kg), SCr; serum creatinine (mg/L), f; factor 7.2 for males and 8.5 for females
MDRD 125I‐Iothalamate clearance 170 × SCr−0.999 × age‐0.176 × 0.762 (if female) × 1.18 (if black) × SUN−0.170 × alb0.318 SCr; serum creatinine (mg/dL), age (yrs), SUN; serum urea nitrogen (mg/dL), alb; serum albumin (g/dL)
CKD‐EPI 125I‐Iothalamate clearance a × (SCr/b)c × 0.993age a is a factor based on race and sex (black women ‐ 166, black men ‐ 163, white women ‐ 144, white men ‐ 141), b is a factor based on sex (women ‐ 0.7, men ‐ 0.9), c is a factor based on sex and SCr (μmol/L; women SCr < 62 ‐ −0.329, SCr > 62 ‐ −1.209, men SCr < 80 ‐ −0.411, SCr > 80 ‐ −1.209), age (yrs)
