Thanks for the article. I’ll show this to my kidney specialist but I’m sure she’s aware of this already.

My eGFR has been fluctuating for the past few years. The last one went up and the kidney doctor was mildly surprised.

i dont understand this calculator. I have had several kidney tests over the past year. They report it with race and without race but they do not report it using height and weight. I was shocked at how much height and weight changes it.

Does anyone else get their EGFR with weight and height included..and is it suppose to be and Drs just arent doing it.

I am a little upset at this notion of height and weight because not one single Dr..including kidney and adrenal doctors have indicated that I have a problem..which I do as per calculator before you even include the height and weight which makes it even worse
