What does eGFR represent?

eGFR is an estimated filtration rate normalized to a standard body surface area. It supports kidney function assessment but is not a direct measurement.

Can this equation be used for children?

No. This implementation is intended for adults; pediatric equations and local laboratory guidance should be used for children.
