eGFR Calculator

Rough kidney filter number from blood creatinine. Uses CKD-EPI 2021 formula. Answer in mL/min/1.73 m² (standard way labs show it).

Inputs

This formula is for adults 18 years and above.

Result

Fill the form and press Calculate eGFR. A small form with OTP opens first; after you send it, your number shows here. Same formula as CKD-EPI creatinine 2021 (no race factor) — National Kidney Foundation.

GFR stages (KDIGO — short list)

Full staging also uses urine albumin and time. This table is only GFR number for quick look.

Category eGFR range Plain-language note
G1≥ 90Normal or high number — CKD only if other kidney damage signs.
G260–89Slightly low — same rule as G1; need damage signs for CKD.
G3a45–59Lower — doctor follow-up.
G3b30–44More low — doctor follow-up.
G415–29Very low — kidney specialist often needed.
G5< 15Kidney failure range — dialysis / transplant talk with doctor.

From KDIGO CKD guide — your hospital may use small changes; kidney doctor’s word is final.

Why labs care about eGFR

Screening

Most lab panels have creatinine. eGFR helps doctor see kidney side of the report when needed.

Medicine dose

Many drugs need lower dose if kidney is weak. Doctor uses eGFR plus other checks.

Old vs new report

One number means less than same test method over months — up or down trend matters.

Lab machine match

Formula fits creatinine from IDMS-standard machines. Your LIS and normal range should match that.
