A: eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) is a measure of how well your kidneys are filtering waste from your blood. It's calculated using a formula that includes your serum creatinine level, age, and gender. A higher eGFR generally indicates better kidney function.
A: This tool uses the CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration) 2021 equation, which is a widely accepted and race-neutral formula. It calculates eGFR based on your serum creatinine, age, and gender.
A: eGFR values are categorized into stages of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD):
Important: These are general guidelines. A healthcare professional must interpret your results in the context of your overall health.
A: No, the 'AI-Powered Kidney Disease Risk Assessment' provides a simulated general evaluation of potential kidney disease risks based on your eGFR score and general health knowledge. It is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional for any health concerns.
A: The 'AI-Powered Lifestyle & Dietary Suggestions' offer simulated general advice on diet, exercise, and habits commonly associated with supporting kidney health. These are not personalized recommendations and should not replace advice from a doctor, dietitian, or certified fitness professional. Always consult with a healthcare provider before making significant lifestyle changes.
A: This unique feature provides simulated general information on how various common medication categories (e.g., NSAIDs, certain blood pressure medications, diuretics) *hypothetically* affect kidney function or eGFR readings. It aims to raise awareness about potential drug-kidney interactions. This is a general, simulated insight and not medical advice. Always discuss your medications with your doctor.
A: This feature offers simulated general recommendations for follow-up testing frequency (e.g., repeat eGFR, urine tests) or specialist consultations (e.g., nephrologist) based on your eGFR and kidney disease stage. This is a general, simulated guide and should not replace personalized medical advice from your doctor.
A: If you input multiple eGFR readings over time, the 'AI-Powered Trend Analysis' provides a simulated interpretation of how your scores might be changing. It discusses observed trends (upward, downward, stable) and what hypothetical factors could influence them. This is a creative simulation for conceptual understanding and does not perform real-time medical data analysis or prediction.
A: This feature provides simulated clear and concise explanations of key terms related to kidney health, such as GFR, CKD, Creatinine, Albuminuria, and Nephrologist, helping you understand the terminology without complex medical jargon.
A: You can easily copy the calculated results to your clipboard or download them as a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file for spreadsheets, or as a JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) file for programmatic use.
