clinical chemical analyzer uses Simplified
MDRD formula to calculate the eGFR value. The
formula is as follows:
eGFR = 186 * Scr-1.154 * Age-0.203 * 0.742
(if female) * 1.212 (if African)
In addition, if the
tested patient is African by race,
multiply the eGFR data by 1.212.

In the Setting option, click the eGFR setting ON.
Before test, the operator should enter the information
required by the system according to the prompt screen
in order for the eGFR value to be calculated.
