GFR Calculator (CKD-EPI): Measure Your Kidney Filtration Rate

The eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) is the standard test for assessing kidney function. It tells you how efficiently your kidneys are filtering blood — and classifies you into one of five CKD stages that guide treatment and monitoring. This calculator uses the CKD-EPI 2021 equation, the most accurate currently available.

The CKD-EPI 2021 Equation

The 2021 revision removed race as a variable — a significant update that ensures more equitable, accurate results across all populations. The formula uses serum creatinine, age, and sex to estimate GFR.

eGFR Reference Values

eGFR (mL/min/1.73m²)CKD StageDescription
90+G1Normal (with other markers of kidney damage)
60–89G2Mildly decreased
45–59G3aMild to moderate decrease
30–44G3bModerate to severe decrease
15–29G4Severely decreased
Below 15G5Kidney failure

Who Should Monitor eGFR Regularly?

  • People with type 1 or type 2 diabetes
  • People with hypertension
  • People with cardiovascular disease
  • People taking long-term NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen)
  • People over 65
  • Anyone with a family history of kidney disease

Protecting Your Kidney Function

Control blood pressure and blood glucose — these two conditions account for the majority of CKD progression worldwide.

Stay well hydrated. Chronic mild dehydration concentrates urine and increases kidney workload over time.

Limit NSAIDs. Regular use of ibuprofen and similar medications reduces kidney blood flow and can accelerate decline in people with existing CKD.

Review all medications with your doctor if your eGFR is below 60 — many drugs require dose adjustment or are contraindicated.

Final Thoughts

eGFR is your kidney's report card — and early detection of declining function opens a window for interventions that genuinely slow progression. Annual monitoring is easy, inexpensive, and potentially life-altering.
