GFR Calculator — CKD-EPI 2021 eGFR & Stage

The current US standard race-free equation, with the full G1–G5 stage table.

Quick answer: Estimate eGFR with the CKD-EPI 2021 race-free creatinine equation, see your CKD stage G1–G5 highlighted, and switch mg/dL or µmol/L — free and private.

How to use

  1. Enter your age and select your sex.
  2. Type your serum creatinine and pick the unit from your lab report.
  3. Press Calculate eGFR to see the result and the G1–G5 stage table.
  4. Discuss the highlighted stage with your clinician.

About this tool

Your estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is the number nephrologists use to stage chronic kidney disease, and this calculator computes it with the CKD-EPI 2021 race-free creatinine equation — the current US standard that removed the race coefficient from the older 2009 formula. Enter your age, sex and latest serum creatinine from a metabolic panel, in mg/dL or µmol/L, and the page returns your eGFR in mL/min/1.73 m² plus a full G1–G5 stage table with your stage highlighted. Everything is computed locally in your browser; nothing is transmitted or stored. The result is an educational estimate, not medical advice: creatinine-based eGFR is less reliable at extremes of muscle mass, in pregnancy, on dialysis, or with rapidly changing kidney function, so interpret the result with your clinician.

FAQ

Which equation does this use?
The CKD-EPI 2021 race-free creatinine equation: eGFR = 142 × min(Scr/κ,1)^α × max(Scr/κ,1)^−1.200 × 0.9938^age × 1.012 if female, with κ = 0.7 (female) or 0.9 (male) and α = −0.241 (female) or −0.302 (male). It replaced the 2009 equation that included a race coefficient.
How do I convert µmol/L to mg/dL?
Divide by 88.4 — the built-in unit toggle does this for you, so a creatinine of 106 µmol/L is entered directly and converts to about 1.2 mg/dL before the equation runs.
What do the stages G1–G5 mean?
G1 is eGFR 90+, G2 is 60–89, G3a is 45–59, G3b is 30–44, G4 is 15–29, and G5 is below 15. A low stage alone does not diagnose CKD — clinicians also look at urine albumin (uACR) and whether the result repeats over three months.
What are the limits of this tool?
It is an educational estimate, not medical advice. The equation is validated for adults 18+ only, and creatinine-based estimates are unreliable with very high or low muscle mass, amputations, pregnancy, vegan or creatine-supplemented diets, and on dialysis. Cystatin-C based eGFR may be more accurate in those cases.
Is my lab data uploaded anywhere?
No. The equation runs in JavaScript on this page; your age, sex and creatinine never leave the browser and are dropped when you close the tab.
