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.
