I'm Dr. Joshua Schwimmer, a nephrologist and internal medicine physician in New York City. • Kidney Notes was the first active nephrology blog. (Trivia: Kidney Notes is so old that the National Library of Medicine still uses it as an example of how to formally cite blogs.) • Professionally, you can find me at Kidney.nyc. • Kidney Notes is for educational purposes only, not medical advice.

Calculators for EKFC eGFRcys, EKFC eGFRcr, and EKFC eGFRcr-cys

The most accurate race-free eGFR equation (EKFC eGFRcys) isn't yet available in EMRs or a calculator app, so here's an Apple shortcut to use on the iPhone or Mac.

Also, here’s a calculator as a Google spreadsheet of the EKFC eGFRcys, EKFC eGFRcr, and EKFC eGFRcr-cys equations. 

Thanks to Dr. Hans Pottel for his guidance.
