Calculation of Glomerular Filtration Rate

Calculating glomerular filtration rate (using MDRD formula)

The five stages of chronic kidney disease use "GFR" (Glomerular Filtration Rate) to judge your kidney function, and GFR must consider your age, gender, and "CR" (serum creatinine). Do you know how much your "CR" (serum creatinine) is? If you know it, you can calculate your kidney function:

Glomerular filtration rate value = (MDRD-Simplify-GFR)

186 * Creatinine valueScr ^-1.154 X Age ^-0.203

Male Female X 0.742

Your GTR= ml/min/1.73m²

Chronic kidney disease first stage Normal kidney function but with kidney damage such as proteinuria and hematuria

Renal function is about 60% of normal people. Pay attention to whether you have diabetes or high blood pressure. You need to control blood sugar and diet. Check the kidney function every six months. Generally, the kidney function can be stabilized. However, patients with glomerulitis must receive treatment.

Your GTR= ml/min/1.73m²

Chronic Kidney Disease Second Stage Mild chronic renal failure, but combined with proteinuria, hematuria, etc.

Your GTR= ml/min/1.73m²

Chronic Kidney Disease Stage III Moderate chronic renal failure

Renal function is about 30% to 59% of normal people. Actively cooperate with doctors to treat patients to slow down the fifth stage of kidney disease.

Your GTR= ml/min/1.73m²

Chronic Kidney Disease Stage IV Severe chronic renal failure

Renal function is about 15~30% of normal people, actively cooperate with doctors to treat, slow down the fifth stage of kidney disease.

Your GTR= ml/min/1.73m²

Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 5 End-stage renal disease

The kidney function is less than 15% of normal people. If the metabolic waste and water cannot be eliminated gradually, you must prepare and receive dialysis treatment and kidney transplantation.
