Description
"Pocket GFR Calculator: Kidney Health & CKD Stage" application is intended to help health professional to calculate estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) in daily practice based on serum creatinine level and other parameters. The eGFR results will determine the staging of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Why should you choose "Pocket GFR Calculator: Kidney Health & CKD Stage"?
- Simple user-interface and very easy to use based on National Kidney Foundation.
- Accurate and precise calculation of eGFR to estimate renal or kidney health.
- There are five most used formulas of eGFR calculation (Cockroft-Gault, MDRD, CKD-EPI 2009, CKD-EPI 2012, & Schwartz)
- Staging and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) based on eGFR result.
- Comparison of several formulas (Cockroft-Gault, MDRD, CKD-EPI 2009, CKD-EPI 2012, & Schwartz) in the same patient.

Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is the amount of blood filtered by the kidney in a minute. This GFR value is an indicator of renal function, so it is used widely in diagnosis and staging of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). GFR is the optimal way to measure kidney function. Normal GFR varies according to age, sex, and body size. In "Pocket GFR Calculator: Kidney Health & CKD Stage", the stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its management based on the eGFR values are also given. You also can use "All Formulas" feature to compare the result of several formulas for the same patient. "Pocket GFR Calculator: Kidney Health & CKD Stage" has several formulas used for GFR calculations, namely:
- Cockroft-Gault Formula
- Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study Equation
- CKD-EPI Creatinine Equation (2009)
- CKD-EPI Cystatin and Creatinine Equation (2012)
- Schwartz Formula for paediatric eGFR measurement.
Disclaimer: all calculations must be re-checked and should not be used alone to guide patient care, nor should they substitute for clinical judgment. Calculations in this "Pocket GFR Calculator: Kidney Health & CKD Stage" app might be different with your local practice. Consult to expert doctor whenever necessary.
