Hi Julee, Meditech has a KB article (18534) about Estimated GFR. To help you/your users test to be sure the calculation is correct, here is a reference range chart: http://www.postgradmed.com/issues/2001/12_01/manjunath.htm I created a LAB Calc that looks like this: Mnemonic EGFR Active? Y Description ESTIMATED GLOMERULAR FILT RATE Type POST Target Test Trigger Tests EGFR Label Ord Res NP ND QNS Spec Hrs CREAT Y Y N N N Trigger Test CREAT Ask Recalc? N Edit? [f lsp age]^AGE, CREAT^CRE, 186.3*[f fcn power](CRE,"-1.154")*[f fcn power](AGE,"-0.203")^RES, IF{L([f pt age])>3 [f lres nop]; (([f pt sex]="F")&([f pt race]="B")) RES*0.742*1.210; [f pt sex]="F" RES*0.742; [f pt race]="B" RES*1.212;RES}; Then, I created a LAB Test that looks like this: Print Number 100.1750 Active?

Hope this helps.
