Abstract

A new formula for glomerular filtration rate estimation in pediatric population from 2 to 18 years has been developed by the University Unit of Pediatric Nephrology. This Quadratic formula, accessible online, allows pediatricians to adjust drug dosage and/or follow-up renal function more precisely and in an easy manner.
