eGFR using the Nankivell-SPK formula (US units)
Description
A wrapper function for the nankivell_spk() vectorised function to calculate the eGFR using the Nankivell-SPK formula using serum creatinine in mg/dl. To allow for serial measurements over time, such as for transplant follow-up data, there is an optional offset = n parameter which increases the age value used in the equation by n years. It has not been possible to run automated tests to confirm the accuracy of this function, so please use with caution.
Usage
nankivell_spk_US(SCr, Age, Sex, Weight, Height, Offset = 0)
Arguments
SCr |
numeric vector of serum creatinine in µmol/l (or mg/dl if units = "US") |
Age |
numeric vector of patient ages in years |
Sex |
character vector of sex ("F" for female, "M" for male) |
Weight |
numeric vector of patient weights in kilograms |
Height |
numeric vector of patient heights in metres |
Offset |
non-vectorised optional numeric parameter for offset in years |
