Calculate eGFR Using Schwartz Equation

Calculate eGFR Using Schwartz Equation

Usage

schwartz_egfr(height, creat)

Arguments

height

height of patients in cm.

creat

Serum creatinine levels in mg/dL

Value

eGFR in mL/min/1.73m^2

Details

The Schwartz equation for pediatric eGFR: $$eGFR = 0.413 \cdot \frac{H}{S_{cr}}$$

where:

• \(H\) = height (cm)

• \(S_{cr}\) = serum creatinine (mg/dL)
