CKD-EPI equation for GFR.
Description
Predict GFR from serum creatinine, gender, and age.
Usage
ckd_epi_eq(scr, gender, reth, age_years, ckd_epi_race_coeff = FALSE)
Arguments
scr |
Vector of serum creatinine values in mg/dL. |
gender |
Vector of genders (either 'Male' or 'Female'). |
reth |
Vector of races/ethnicities. Not used unless ckd_epi_race_coeff is TRUE. |
age_years |
Vector of ages in years. |
ckd_epi_race_coeff |
Whether to use the "race coefficient" in the CKD-EPI equation. Default is FALSE. |
