Calculate eGFR by Schwartz cystatin C-based equation (for children only)
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").
- cystatin_units
Character string. Units in which serum cystatin is expressed. Could be one of the following: "mg/L" or "nanomol/L"
Details
