GFR Calculator

Calculate your Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) to assess kidney function.

Result

Fill in the fields above, then press Calculate.

A GFR calculator estimates your Glomerular Filtration Rate from a blood creatinine test, providing a key indicator of kidney function and helping detect chronic kidney disease early.

Enter your serum creatinine level (from a blood test), age, sex, and race. The calculator estimates your Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) using the CKD-EPI 2021 equation and classifies your kidney function stage.

Examples

45-year-old male, creatinine 1.0

eGFR = 142 x min(1.0/0.9, 1)^(-0.302) x max(1.0/0.9, 1)^(-1.200) x 0.9938^45 = approximately 92 mL/min/1.73m² (Stage G1, normal).

Frequently Asked Questions

What does GFR measure?
Glomerular Filtration Rate measures how well your kidneys filter waste from your blood, expressed in mL/min/1.73m². A GFR of 90+ is generally considered normal. Lower values indicate reduced kidney function.
When should I be concerned about my GFR?
A single low GFR reading does not necessarily mean kidney disease. GFR below 60 for 3 or more months is considered chronic kidney disease. Always discuss results with your doctor, who will consider the full clinical picture.

Quick Tips

  • •Always discuss your eGFR results with your doctor, who can interpret them alongside other lab values and your medical history.
  • •Stay well-hydrated before your blood test, as dehydration can temporarily affect creatinine levels.
  • •If your eGFR is below 60, ask about follow-up testing to determine whether the change is acute or chronic.
