While burning through a chapter of Harrison's in order to make a presentation in as little time as possible (it corresponds almost exactly with the amount of notice I was given to actually prepare it...) I came across this little gem...
Estimated GFR (mL/min per 1.73 m2) = 1.86 x (PCr)^1.154 x (age)^0.203...What schmo came up with this equation??? And why did Harrison even bother to include it in his text book...I don't know about you but I do not carry around a Ti-80something capable of doing exponents just to calculate GFR...esoteric knowledge Mr. Harrison!!!
