Acute renal failure – definition, outcome measures, animal models, fluid therapy and information technology needs: the Second International Consensus Conference of the Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative (ADQI) Group

Table 1 Estimated baseline creatinine

Age (years)	Black males (mg/dl [μmol/l])	Other males (mg/dl [μmol/l])	Black females (mg/dl [μmol/l])	Other females (mg/dl [μmol/l])
20–24	1.5 (133)	1.3 (115)	1.2 (106)	1.0 (88)
25–29	1.5 (133)	1.2 (106)	1.1 (97)	1.0 (88)
30–39	1.4 (124)	1.2 (106)	1.1 (97)	0.9 (80)
40–54	1.3 (115)	1.1 (97)	1.0 (88)	0.9 (80)
55–65	1.3 (115)	1.1 (97)	1.0 (88)	0.8 (71)
>65	1.2 (106)	1.0 (88)	0.9 (80)	0.8 (71)

Estimated glomerular filtration rate = 75 (ml/min per 1.73 m²) = 186 × (serum creatinine [S_Cr]) - 1.154 × (age) - 0.203 × (0.742 if female) × (1.210 if black) = exp(5.228 - 1.154 × In [S_Cr]) - 0.203 × In(age) - (0.299 if female) + (0.192 if black).
