This document provides a formula to calculate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) to determine the stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD). For males, GFR is calculated as (140 - age) x body weight divided by 72 x creatinine. For females, the same formula is used but multiplied by 0.85. It then stages CKD based on the GFR score, with stage 1 being the healthiest (>90) and stage 5 being kidney failure (<15).
