GFR Calculator

eGFR estimates kidney filtration from serum creatinine, age and sex; it is an estimate and should be interpreted with clinical context. Formula: CKD-EPI 2021 uses 142 × min(Scr/k,1)^α × max(Scr/k,1)^−1.200 × 0.9938^Age × sex factor.

Estimate Glomerular Filtration Rate

eGFR estimates kidney filtration from serum creatinine, age and sex; it is an estimate and should be interpreted with clinical context.

Formula: CKD-EPI 2021 uses 142 × min(Scr/k,1)^α × max(Scr/k,1)^−1.200 × 0.9938^Age × sex factor.

Use the same units and measurement method expected by the calculator. Results from body measurements, activity levels, or health formulas are estimates and can vary when the underlying inputs or method changes.

Repeat the calculation with the same measurements and method, then compare the result with the displayed formula. Treat the result as an estimate where applicable.
