Calculates eGFR based on the method specified

egfr(sexf, raceb, age, creat, cystc, height, method = "CKDEPI 2009")

Arguments

sexf: a boolean representing if the patient is female.
raceb: a boolean representing if the patient is black.
age: the age of a patient in years.
creat: the serum creatinine levels in mg/dL.
cystc: the cystatin C levels in mg/L - only used in CKDEPI 2021 cystatin method
height: the height of a patient in cm.
method: a string specifying the method to use. Available options are "CKDEPI 2009", "MDRD", "CKDEPI 2021", "Schwartz".

Value

the eGFR calculated based on method.

Examples

e <- egfr(TRUE, TRUE, 24, 1, "CKDEPI 2009")

df <- data.frame(
   "SEXF" = c(TRUE, FALSE, TRUE, FALSE),
   "RACEB" = c(FALSE, FALSE, TRUE, FALSE),
   "AGE" = c(24, 24, 23, 24),
   "CREAT" = c(1, 1, 2, 1)
   )
df <- dplyr::mutate(df, egfr = egfr(SEXF, RACEB, AGE, CREAT, "CKDEPI 2009"))
