Pediatric GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate ) measures children's kidney function. IT helps estimate how well the kidneys filter waste from a child's blood. Measuring pediatric GFR is important because kidney function is essential for a child's growth and development. Pediatric GFR is calculated using the child’s age, height, and blood creatinine levels.
Bedside Schwartz Equation (2009)
eGFR (mL/min/1.73m²) = 0.413 × Height (cm) / Serum Creatinine (mg/dL)
Cystatin C-based Equation (2012)
eGFR (mL/min/1.73m²) = 70.69 × (Cystatin C in mg/L)-0.931
Creatinine-Cystatin C-based CKiD Equation (2012, legacy)
eGFR (mL/min/1.73m²) = 39.1 × (Height/Creatinine)0.516 × (1.8/Cystatin C)0.294 × (30/BUN)0.169 × (1.099if male) × (Height/1.4)0.188
Input the patient's age, sex, height, and serum creatinine level into the calculator.
The calculator automatically applies the Bedside Schwartz equation to the provided data.

This pediatric gfr calculator instantly estimates glomerular filtration rate in children using the Bedside Schwartz equation, Cystatin C-based formula, and the legacy CKiD formula. It is designed for clinicians, pediatricians, and nephrology professionals to assess kidney function in children.
The pediatric GFR calculator estimates glomerular filtration rate in children using the Bedside Schwartz equation, Cystatin C-based formula, and the legacy CKiD equation. It is designed for healthcare professionals and is not a substitute for clinical judgment.
This calculator uses the Bedside Schwartz equation (2009), Cystatin C-based equation (2012), and the legacy CKiD equation (2012) for pediatric GFR estimation.
The Bedside Schwartz equation is a formula for estimating GFR in children: eGFR = 0.413 × Height (cm) / Serum Creatinine (mg/dL).
Use this tool for children under 18 years old when you need to estimate kidney function for clinical decision making, drug dosing, or monitoring CKD.
No, this calculator is intended for pediatric use only. For adults, use an adult GFR calculator such as the CKD-EPI or MDRD formula.
