🫘 Schwartz eGFR (Paediatric)
Estimate paediatric GFR at the bedside with the updated Schwartz equation.
Schwartz eGFR (Paediatric)
Height (cm)
Serum creatinine (mg/dL)
When to use
Estimate GFR in children and adolescents.
How it works
eGFR = 0.413 × height(cm) / serum creatinine(mg/dL), using IDMS-standardised creatinine.
Key points
- For ages ~1–18 years.
- Not validated in adults or unstable renal function.
- Height and standardised creatinine are essential.
