Pediatric Drug Dosage Calculator

Calculate pediatric drug dosage scores, laboratory indices, and clinical patient metrics with ease.

🩺

Laboratory & Clinical Inputs

Enter serum creatinine, sodium, age, or patient weight.

Calculated Clinical Result

85.4 mL/min/1.73m² Stage 2 (Mildly Decreased)
💡

Nephrology Tip

An eGFR score above 60 is generally considered normal. Scores below 60 persistent over 3 months indicate Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the 5 stages of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)?
Stage 1: eGFR 90+, Stage 2: 60-89, Stage 3a: 45-59, Stage 3b: 30-44, Stage 4: 15-29, Stage 5: <15 (Kidney failure).
Does race affect eGFR calculation?
The 2021 CKD-EPI refitted equation removed race parameters to ensure unbiased health assessments across all populations.
