eGFR Calculators

Useful app, but due to the colours used on the slider switches for male/female and black/other it's difficult to see what option you've actually picked.

This gives you the current 2021 CKD-EPI calculator, however, it does not include the ability to factor in BSA (body surface area - height/weight). The National Kidney Foundation web site has the 2021 calculator with the ability to include BSA. If you do not factor in BSA, you may get a less precise eGFR value. Most national labs also do not factor in BSA, so you might have a conversation with your physician to see her/his thoughts. Just accepting the basic CKD-EPI 2021 formula, may place you in a GFR category and ACR category, you do not deserve. The discussion within this app notes the necessity to factor in BSA to the CKD-EPI 2021 equation, but the equation included with this app does not allow this option.

I need - no, REQUIRE - a GFR calculator that lets me individualize results to my patient’s individual height and weight. Too many of my patients are way off of ‘standard’ parameters for that to make sense. I had an ancient app that would do this but it no longer works on the current iOS upgrade. I was hoping this app would do so since the cGFR calculator on their website has that as an option. No such luck - and that makes this app useless to me. It was removed immediately after downloading.

Very handy, but there is a flaw that must be addressed. The race and sex fields change when they should not. Tap on “male” for example and tap on on it a second, third, fourth time. Why does it change back and forth and back and forth? Please fix that behavior. Thanks.

I wish I’d known about this several years ago-it would have saved a few grey hairs. I’m 57, a former RN-Paramedic who had to leave Medical School in my final year due to growing health issues related to my genetic disorder, nail-patella syndrome. I (and mySon) were also born with just 1, affected kidney. It wasn’t until the last two years that the proteinuria and overall function began to decline. Because I’m not a transplant candidate, we’re keeping an extremely close eye on everything. Thank you for making this available-AND for everything else you guys do to help patients like myself!! PS I sent the link to this app to my primary & nephro -neither of whom had been previously aware of it.

Use this app everyday. Only wish you had a Apple Watch companion.

Great app and useful for me as a student pharmacist!

Thanks.brief&easy to use.

Simple and accurate way to calculate GFR, recommended!

Worked flawlessly, thank you.
