- Doctors need to know the renal function of their patients. A form to estimate the renal function is estimating the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The GFR can be estimated with different equations.
- This app can calculate the GFR (or renal function) based in serum creatinine (that the doctor obtain with a blood sample), the sex, age and race of the patient
- This is a real app, that will help me and other doctors to estimate GFR
- The next slide show that if dorctors have a patient, they need to do many calculations.
