Calculate eGFR Using Schwartz Equation

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

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)

Examples

egfr(FALSE, FALSE, 10, 1, height = 100, method = "Schwartz")
#> [1] 41.3
#> attr(,"scicalc_units")
#> [1] "mL/min/1.73m^2"
