Estimates GFR in children using the bedside Schwartz equation (Schwartz et
al., 2009). Requires IDMS-standardised creatinine.
Usage
egfr_schwartz(
creatinine,
height,
creatinine_units = "mg/dl",
height_units = "cm"
)
Arguments
- creatinine
Numeric vector of serum creatinine.
- height
Numeric vector of height.
- creatinine_units
Units of creatinine: "mg/dl" (default) or
"umol/l".
- height_units
Units of height: "cm" (default) or "m".
Value
Numeric vector of eGFR in mL/min/1.73m^2.
