Formula & calculation method

CKD-EPI 2021 eGFR Refined Equation

eGFR = 142 × min(Scr/κ, 1)^α × max(Scr/κ, 1)^−1.200 × 0.9938^Age × (1.012 if female)

κ = 0.7 (female), 0.9 (male). α = −0.241 (female), −0.302 (male). Scr = Serum creatinine.

Step-by-step calculation example

Male age 50, Scr 1.0 mg/dL → eGFR ≈ 91 mL/min/1.73m² (Normal / Stage G1).

Key insights to remember

• The National Kidney Foundation recommends the CKD-EPI 2021 equation because it does not include a race coefficient.
• An eGFR of 60 mL/min/1.73m² or higher is generally considered normal if no other signs of kidney damage exist.
• eGFR naturally decreases gradually with age, even in individuals without active kidney disease.

How to interpret your results?

eGFR Value

Flow rate of filtered fluid through the kidney per minute normalized to body surface area.

CKD Stage G1 to G5

Clinical severity ranking ranging from normal (G1) to kidney failure (G5).

Frequently asked questions

What is a Gfr Calculator?

A Gfr Calculator evaluates physiological metrics to guide health, fitness, or nutrition plans.

How often should I recalculate?

Recalculate every 4 to 8 weeks to track meaningful body composition or health changes.

Is this calculation accurate for athletes?

Athletes with high muscle mass may require body-fat specific formulas like Katch-McArdle.
