The equation used by egfr() with method = "CKDEPI 2021 cystatin".

Details

The CKD-EPI 2021 creatinine-cystatin equation: $$eGFR = 135 \cdot \min(S_{cr}/\kappa, 1)^\alpha \cdot \max(S_{cr}/\kappa, 1)^{-0.544} \cdot \min(S_{cys}/0.8, 1)^{-0.323} \\ \cdot \max(S_{cys}/0.8, 1)^{-0.778} \cdot 0.9961^A \cdot 0.963^F$$

where:

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

  • \(S_{cys}\) = serum cystatin C (mg/L)

  • \(\kappa\) = 0.7 (female) or 0.9 (male)

  • \(\alpha\) = -0.219 (female) or -0.144 (male)

  • \(A\) = age (years)

  • \(F\) = 1 (female) or 0 (male)
