Estimated kidney function (eGFR)
Estimate GFR (eGFR) from serum creatinine, age, and sex, and see the corresponding CKD (chronic kidney disease) GFR category. A handy guide for self-checking your kidney function.
This tool provides an estimate based on a standard formula. It is not a diagnosis, so please always consult a doctor for any health decisions.

Japanese adult eGFR formula
Suggests a mild decrease (CKD only if kidney damage is present).
How it works
- Estimated GFR (eGFR) is an indicator that estimates how well the kidneys filter waste, based on the serum creatinine value from a blood test together with your age and sex. It is expressed in mL/min/1.73m² (per 1.73m² of body surface area).
- The calculation uses the estimating formula for Japanese adults from the Japanese Society of Nephrology: eGFR = 194 × creatinine^(−1.094) × age^(−0.287), multiplied by an additional 0.739 for women.
- The result is shown as a guide to the GFR category based on the KDIGO classification and the Japanese Society of Nephrology CKD guidelines (G1: 90 and above, G2: 60–89, G3a: 45–59, G3b: 30–44, G4: 15–29, G5: below 15).
- This estimating formula is intended for adults aged 18 and over. It may diverge from actual kidney function in children, people with extreme body size or muscle mass, or when kidney function is changing rapidly.
- The GFR category should be assessed together with the presence of kidney damage (such as proteinuria); eGFR alone does not confirm whether chronic kidney disease (CKD) is present. Please use it only as a reference for interpreting your results.
- This tool is a general estimate based on a formula and is not a diagnosis or medical treatment. Please always consult a doctor for any health decisions.
