eGFR
79 mL/min/1.73 m²
CKD stage
G2 — mildly reduced
Interpretation
Not indicative of CKD without other markers

Quick answer

Estimated GFR grades kidney function; the 2021 CKD-EPI creatinine equation is the current standard and omits a race coefficient.

How to use the eGFR Calculator

  1. 1Enter serum creatinine in mg/dL.
  2. 2Add age and sex.
  3. 3Read eGFR and the corresponding CKD stage.

Frequently asked questions

Why did the race coefficient go?

The 2021 CKD-EPI refit removed it because race is a social, not biological, variable and its use delayed care for Black patients.

Is eGFR alone enough to diagnose CKD?

No. CKD requires reduced eGFR or kidney damage markers such as albuminuria persisting over three months.
