GFR = 141 x min(Scr/κ,1)α x max(Scr/κ,1)-1.209 x 0.993Age x 1.018 [if female] x 1.159 [if black]
κ = 0.7 if female. κ = 0.9 if male.
α = -0.329 if female α = -0.411 if male
min = the minimum of Scr/κ or 1 max = the maximum of Scr/κ or 1
"BACKGROUND: Equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are routinely used to assess kidney function. Current equations have limited precision and systematically underestimate measured GFR at higher values." 1 "CONCLUSION: The CKD-EPI creatinine equation is more accurate than the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study equation and could replace it for routine clinical use." 13
