Features & Capabilities

From the National Kidney Foundation (NKF), this application allows medical professionals to estimate kidney function using five separate eGFR calculators:

CKD-EPI Creatinine 2021 Equation (Preferred method)
Revised Bedside Schwartz Formula (For ages 1-17)
Cockcroft-Gault Formula
CKD-EPI Cystatin C 2012 Equation
CKD-EPI Creatinine - Cystatin C 2021 Equation

Also includes information on:

-Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) -Chronic kidney disease (CKD) -Clinical use on how to test, evaluate, and slow progression -Formulas

The National Kidney Foundation is the leading organization in the U.S. dedicated to the awareness, prevention, and treatment of kidney disease for hundreds of thousands of healthcare professionals, millions of patients and their families, and tens of millions of Americans at risk. By supporting the National Kidney Foundation, you directly influence and positively impact the lives of those at risk for kidney disease, those living with chronic kidney disease, and those who care for and about them.

User Reviews

Users repeatedly praise the app for being easy to use and helpful for quick GFR calculations, especially for students and healthcare professionals. The major recurring shortcoming is the inability to adjust the eGFR for body surface area based on height and weight, leading some to question precision compared with lab tools or website calculators that include BSA. Overall, reviews view the app as a handy, generally accurate resource, with room for improvement in customization (BSA) and, less frequently mentioned, feature requests like an Apple Watch companion.

Pros

Easy to use / intuitive interface
Useful for students and healthcare professionals
Provides straightforward GFR calculations
Generally accurate and reliable results

Cons

Lacks ability to factor in body surface area (BSA) / height and weight

Recent reviews

This gives you the current 2021 CKD-EPI calculator, however, it does not include the ability to factor in BSA (body surface area - height/weight). The National Kidney Foundation web site has the 2021 calculator with the ability to include BSA. If you do not factor in BSA, you may get a less precise eGFR value. Most national labs also do not factor in BSA, so you might have a conversation with your physician to see her/his thoughts. Just accepting the basic CKD-EPI 2021 formula, may place you in a GFR category and ACR category, you do not deserve. The discussion within this app notes the necessity to factor in BSA to the CKD-EPI 2021 equation, but the equation included with this app does not allow this option.

I need - no, REQUIRE - a GFR calculator that lets me individualize results to my patient’s individual height and weight. Too many of my patients are way off of ‘standard’ parameters for that to make sense. I had an ancient app that would do this but it no longer works on the current iOS upgrade. I was hoping this app would do so since the cGFR calculator on their website has that as an option. No such luck - and that makes this app useless to me. It was removed immediately after downloading.

Very handy, but there is a flaw that must be addressed. The race and sex fields change when they should not. Tap on “male” for example and tap on on it a second, third, fourth time. Why does it change back and forth and back and forth? Please fix that behavior. Thanks.
