schwartz_US: eGFR by bedside Schwartz formula (US units)

Description

A wrapper function for the schwartz() vectorised formula to calculate estimate glomerular filtration rate in children using the bedside Schwartz formula, using serum creatinine in mg/dl. Use the schwartz() function instead for <U+00B5>mol/l.

Usage

schwartz_US(creat, height)

Arguments

creat

numeric vector of creatinine levels in <U+00B5>mol/l (or mg/dl if units = "US")

height

numeric vector of heights in cm

Value

numeric vector of eGFR values

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# calculate using creatinine in -mg/dl
schwartz_US(creat = 0.7, height = 101)
# }
