eGFR & Clearance
In clinical review, locked
The NurseTools eGFR and clearance tool is planned to show kidney function estimates with their inputs and units. It is in clinical review, locked, and not available yet.
The formula
eGFR in mL/min/1.73 m² (CKD-EPI 2021). Creatinine clearance in mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault).
What the tool will cover
- Planned: the inputs each equation uses, with units.
- Planned: the difference between eGFR and creatinine clearance explained.
- Planned: sources, version and review date on the tool.
Status
This tool is in clinical review and locked. It is not available in NurseTools yet, and nothing unlocks it early. It is released only after it clears all four gates:
- Source and rights audit. Every formula and reference is traced to its source and licensed for use.
- Clinical editorial review. A reviewer with the right specialty signs off on the content.
- Independent testing. Known-answer tests cover normal values, edge cases and unit mix-ups.
- Regulatory and App Store review. Higher-risk tools wait for the right approval route before release.

Questions
Can I use the eGFR and clearance tool in NurseTools now?
No. The eGFR and clearance tool is in clinical review and locked. It becomes available only after it passes source review, clinical editorial review, independent testing and App Store review. Nothing unlocks it early.
Are eGFR and creatinine clearance the same?
No. eGFR is normalized to body surface area in mL/min/1.73 m². Cockcroft-Gault estimates creatinine clearance in mL/min.
Will the tool suggest dose changes?
No. NurseTools does not calculate or adjust medication doses for patient care.
