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
“Choosing “No” will calculate an indexed eGFR value, standardized to a body surface area of 1.73m2 (units: mL/min/1.73m2)
Assessment for CKD staging and CKD progression should generally be assessed using the indexed eGFR value.”
