CKD-EPI calculation
mL/min/1.73m2
The glomerular filtration rate is >80 mL/min/1.73m2 in most healthy people less than 50 years of age. However, higher eGFR values as calculated by the CDK-EPI formula are reported as >90 mL/min, as the calculation is inaccurate above this value.
In children, height is required to calculate an eGFR. An online calculator is available:
0.1 mL heparin plasma or serum.
