Pediatric Chronic Kidney Disease Risk Calculator

This calculator provides estimated times to when a patient may require renal replacement therapy or when their current glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decreases by 50%. These estimates are based on a panel of variables from a patient's current visit and their visit approximately one year prior. The tool requires general information (age, sex, diagnosis), markers of kidney disease (GFR, proteinuria), blood pressure, blood chemistry panels (albumin, lipids, anemia) and medications (ACEi/ARB therapy). It is intended to aid clinicians in managing kidney disease for pediatric patients.
