2021 CKD-EPI eGFR calculator

Calculate race-free 2021 CKD-EPI eGFR from adult serum creatinine, age, and the equation sex coefficient. privacy-first-browser-tooling

Who it helps

  • Show whole mL/min/1.73 m², a G1–G5 reference category, and restrained follow-up context; it is educational and does not diagnose CKD.
  • 2021 CKD-EPI creatinine: eGFR = 142 × min(SCr/κ,1)^α × max(SCr/κ,1)^−1.200 × 0.9938^age × 1.012 if female; κ/α are 0.7/−0.241 for female and 0.9/−0.302 for male, with µmol/L ÷ 88.4. This tool uses only this equation—no MDRD or race coefficient.
  • after adult age, equation sex coefficient, and standardized serum creatinine are entered, the tool shows unrounded details, whole-number eGFR, and a G category; G1/G2 still cannot confirm or exclude CKD alone.

FAQ

2021 CKD-EPI eGFR calculator:Which data are required?

Enter age 18–120, the equation sex coefficient, and standardized serum creatinine from 0.2–20 mg/dL or 17.68–1,768 µmol/L. The tool asks for no name, race, or MDRD parameter.

2021 CKD-EPI eGFR calculator:Which equation is used?

Only the race-free 2021 CKD-EPI creatinine equation is used: 142 × min(SCr/κ,1)^α × max(SCr/κ,1)^−1.200 × 0.9938^age × 1.012 if female; µmol/L is divided by 88.4 first. The result is rounded to whole mL/min/1.73 m² and given a G category.

2021 CKD-EPI eGFR calculator:Does a G category mean I have kidney disease?

No. eGFR is estimated, not measured GFR. G1/G2 alone neither confirms nor excludes CKD; duration, UACR, cystatin C, and other kidney-damage markers may matter. This tool provides no MDRD result, medication dose, pediatric or transplant decision, or diagnosis.

2021 CKD-EPI eGFR calculator:Are age and laboratory values uploaded?

No. Age, equation sex coefficient, creatinine, eGFR, G category, and reminders are calculated only in current browser memory and are not uploaded or stored. GA4 excludes every one of these health data.
