eGFR Calculator (Simplified CKD-EPI)

Estimate glomerular filtration rate using a simplified CKD-EPI style formula from serum creatinine, age, and sex.

Methodology reviewed 2026-07-27. See our review process.

Formula and method

This calculator uses the values you enter and applies the calculation immediately in your browser. The main output formulas are:

  • Estimated eGFR: (sex===1 ? 141 : 144) * Math.pow(Math.min(creatinine/(sex===1?0.9:0.7),1), sex===1?-0.411:-0.329) * Math.pow(Math.max(creatinine/(sex===1?0.9:0.7),1), -1.209) * Math.pow(0.993, age)

Some formulas are undefined for certain input combinations, such as division by zero, equal x-values in a slope calculation, or logarithms of non-positive numbers. In those cases the live tool reports that the result is undefined instead of displaying Infinity or NaN.

Examples

  • Example: with Serum creatinine = 1 mg/dL, Age = 45 years, Sex (1=male, 0=female) = 1, this calculator returns Estimated eGFR = 90.5 mL/min/1.73m².
