This calculator helps in evaluating kidney function by converting and analyzing uric acid, creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen levels, which are important indicators of renal health.
Learn how to use the calculator and understand the significance of the parameters for assessing kidney health
Uric acid is a waste product formed when the body breaks down purines, which are found in certain foods and drinks. Elevated levels can indicate kidney dysfunction or conditions like gout.
Creatinine is a waste product from muscle metabolism. Its levels in the blood can indicate how well the kidneys are filtering waste products from the blood.
BUN is a waste product formed from the breakdown of protein. Its levels can be affected by kidney function, but also by other factors like dehydration and protein intake.
For men: eGFR = 144 × (sCr/88.4)-1.23 × (Age)-0.203
For women: eGFR = 144 × (sCr/88.4)-1.154 × (Age)-0.203 × 0.742
Where sCr = serum creatinine concentration in mg/dL
CC = (sCr × 70) / 88.4
Where sCr = serum creatinine concentration in mg/dL
Note: These are general guidelines. Your doctor should interpret your results in the context of your overall health and medical history.
