Full Age Spectrum (FAS) creatinine eGFR

Source: R/ekfc.R
egfr_fas_cr.Rd

Estimates GFR from serum creatinine using the Full Age Spectrum equation (Pottel et al., 2016). Uses adult reference Q values (male 0.90, female 0.70 mg/dL) across all ages.

Usage

egfr_fas_cr(
  creatinine,
  age,
  sex,
  creatinine_units = "mg/dl",
  label_sex_male = "male",
  label_sex_female = "female"
)

Arguments

creatinine

Numeric vector of serum creatinine.

age

Numeric vector of age in years.

sex

Vector of sex labels (see label_sex_male/label_sex_female).

creatinine_units

Units of creatinine: "mg/dl" (default) or "umol/l".

label_sex_male, label_sex_female

Values in sex that denote male and female records. Defaults to "male"/"female".

Value

Numeric vector of eGFR in mL/min/1.73m^2.
