GFR Calculator

eGFR estimates kidney filtration from serum creatinine, age and sex; it is an estimate and should be interpreted with clinical context. Formula: CKD-EPI 2021 uses 142 × min(Scr/k,1)^α × max(Scr/k,1)^−1.200 × 0.9938^Age × sex factor.

eGFR estimates kidney filtration from serum creatinine, age and sex; it is an estimate and should be interpreted with clinical context.

Formula: CKD-EPI 2021 uses 142 × min(Scr/k,1)^α × max(Scr/k,1)^−1.200 × 0.9938^Age × sex factor.

Enter age, body measurements, dates, or activity choices exactly as requested. These calculators estimate a result from the inputs rather than directly measuring a physical condition.

Repeat the calculation with the same values to confirm the output, then review the unit and method before interpreting the number.

Important: This calculator is provided for general informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Results are estimates based on the information entered and the method used. If you have a medical concern or are making a health-related decision, consult a qualified healthcare professional.

The GFR Calculator provides an estimate or calculation based on the values entered in the tool. It is intended to make the calculation easier to perform and review.
How do I use the GFR Calculator?
Enter the requested values, check the units and options, and run the calculator. Use the result together with the method and assumptions explained on the page.
What information do I need before using the GFR Calculator?
The required information is shown in the calculator fields. Enter values that match the requested units and use the same measurement convention throughout the calculation.
How should I interpret the GFR Calculator result?
Read the result with its unit, scale, and any assumptions shown by the calculator. The output is only as meaningful as the inputs and method used.
How can I check whether the GFR Calculator result is reasonable?
Check the result against the formula, a simple reference value, or a reverse calculation when one is available. This can catch unit, decimal, or input errors before the result is used elsewhere.
