Comparison of Equations to Predict GFR According to Measurement of the Serum Creatinine Level-2000

 


Equation 1 Serum creatinine

GFR = 0.69 X [100/Pcr]

Equation 2 Creatinine clearance

GFR = 0.81 X [Ccr]

Equation 3 Average of creatinine and urea clearance

GFR = 1.11 X [(Ccr + Curea)/2]

Equation 4 Creatinine clearance, urea clearance and demographic variables

GFR = 1.04 X [Ccr]=0.751 X [Curea]+0.226 X [1.109 if patient is black]

Equation 5 Demographic, serum and urine variables

GFR= 198 X [Pcr]-0.858 X [age]-0.167 X [0.822 if patient is female] X [1.178 if patient is black] X [SUN]-0.293 X [UUN]+0.249

Equation 6 Demographic and serum variables only

GFR= 170 X [Pcr]-0.999 X [age]-0.176 X [0.762 if patient is female] X [1.180 if patient is black] X [SUN]-0.170 X [alb]+0.318
