Calculate eGFR Using MDRD Equation — mdrd_egfr • scicalc

This function is deprecated; use egfr() with method = "MDRD".

Usage

mdrd_egfr(sexf, raceb, age, creat)

Arguments

sexf: a boolean representing if the patient is female.
raceb: a boolean representing if the patient is black.
age: the age of the patient in years
creat: the serum creatinine levels in mg/dL

Value

the eGFR in mL/min/1.73 m^2

Details

The MDRD equation: $$eGFR = 175 \cdot S_{cr}^{-1.154} \cdot A^{-0.203} \cdot 0.742^F \cdot 1.212^B$$

where:

\(S_{cr}\) = serum creatinine (mg/dL)
\(A\) = age (years)
\(F\) = 1 (female) or 0 (male)
\(B\) = 1 (Black) or 0 (other)

Examples

e <- egfr(TRUE, TRUE, 24, 1, method = "MDRD")
