eGFR using Nankivell formula (US units)
Description
A wrapper function for the nankivell() vectorised function to calculate eGFR using the Nankivell formula, but using creatinine and BUN in mg/dl rather than international units. It has not been possible to run automated tests to confirm the accuracy of this function, so please use with caution.
Usage
nankivell_US(SCr, Urea, Weight, Height, Sex)
Arguments
SCr |
numeric vector of serum creatinine in µmol/l (or mg/dl if units = "US") |
Urea |
numeric vector of serum urea in mmol/l (or BUN in mg/dl if units = "US") |
Weight |
numeric vector of patient weights in kilograms |
Height |
numeric vector of patient heights in centimetres |
Sex |
character vector of sex ("F" for female, "M" for male) |

Value
a numeric vector of eGFR values
Examples
nankivell_US(SCr = 1.33, Urea = 13.4, Weight = 65, Height = 172, Sex = "M") # 44.55
