Pediatric kidney function and CKD staging.

When to use

Estimate GFR in children and adolescents.

How it works

eGFR = 0.413 × height(cm) / serum creatinine(mg/dL), using IDMS-standardised creatinine.

Key points

  • Pediatric kidney function and CKD staging.
  • eGFR = 0.413 × height(cm) / SCr(mg/dL).
  • Derived in children aged 1–16 with CKD (CKiD, Schwartz 2009); needs IDMS-standardised creatinine.
