Usage

pediatric_egfr_2009(crea_mumoll, height)

Arguments

crea_mumoll: Numeric. Creatinin in \(\mu\)mol/l
height: Numeric. Height in meters.

Value

eGFR in mL/min/1.73m\(^2\) as described in https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19158356/. It corresponds to the bedside formula: 0.413*height_cm/crea_mgdl. The conversion factor of creatinin is 1 (\(\mu\)mol/l) = 88.42 (mg/dL).
