Interpretive Data

The CKD-EPI equation for non-African American individuals is used to calculate the estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR). To estimate the GFR for African Americans, multiply the provided GFR result by 1.16.

The CKD-EPI equation is validated in individuals 18 years of age and older. However, the equation is less accurate in patients with extremes of muscle mass, restriction of dietary protein, ingestion of creatine, extra-renal metabolism of creatinine, or treatment with medications that affect renal tubular creatinine secretion.


GFR Categories in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
GFR Category
 GFR (mL/min/1.73 square meters)
 Interpretation
G1 90 or greater Normal or high*
G2 60-89 Mild decrease*
G3a 45-59 Mild to moderate decrease
G3b 30-44 Moderate to severe decrease
G4 15-29 Severe decrease
G5 14 or less Kidney failure
*In the absence of evidence of kidney damage, neither GFR category G1 nor G2 fulfill the criteria for CKD (Kidney Int Suppl 2013;3:1-150)

Compliance Category

FDA

Note
