Equations to Estimate the Normalized Creatinine Generation Rate (CGRn) in 3/Week Dialysis Patients With or Without Residual Kidney Function

Normalized creatinine generation rate (CGRn) can be computed for a variety of dialysis schedules using a recently described kinetic modeling program. However, the availability of estimating equations might facilitate broader study of this metric. We developed equations to estimate CGRn based on modeling and then tested them against modeled CGRn values in the Frequent Hemodialysis Network Nocturnal Trial baseline (3/week) dataset.
