A wrapper function for the schwartz() vectorised formula to calculate estimate glomerular filtration rate in children using the bedside Schwartz formula, using serum creatinine in mg/dl. Use the schwartz() function instead for µmol/l.
schwartz_US(creat, height)
| creat | numeric vector of creatinine levels in µmol/l (or mg/dl if units = "US") |
|---|---|
| height | numeric vector of heights in cm |
numeric vector of eGFR values
