Calculate eGFR by all cystatin-based equations for adults
Arguments
- cystatin
Numeric vector. Serum cystatin, could be expressed in "mg/L" or "nanomol/L". Units of measurement should be defined in variable cystatin_units (if not defined explicitly by user, the default value is "mg/L").
- age
Numeric vector. Age, in years.
- cystatin_units
Character string. Units in which serum cystatin is expressed. Could be one of the following: "mg/L" or "nanomol/L"
- max_age
Numeric. Maximal age suitable for the equation application, in years. By default is 100 years, but change this value in case you would like to apply equation to older persons.
Details
