The Schwartz formula was devised in the mid-1970s to estimate GFR in children. Recent
data suggest that this formula currently overestimates GFR as measured by plasma …

Estimates of body surface area were made based on measurement of 81 subjects, ranging
from premature infants to adults. SA was calculated geometrically for each subject from 34 …

The formula GFR = kL/Pcr can be used to estimate GFR in infants, children, and adolescents
who have grossly normal body habitus and are in steady-state condition. GFR is expressed …
