Hello Everyone,
I had a look at our hospital database and found out that we have the below measurements
Estimated Glomerular Filtration ml/min
Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate ml/min
Estimated Glomerular Filtration, Female ml/min
Estimated Glomerular Filtration, Male ml/min
Am I right to understand that terms with Male
and Female
are being very specific or the doctor/data entry was made in such a specific manner.
Whereas, if we look at Estimated Glomerular Filtration
or Estimated Glomerular Filtration rate
they are no different from Estimated Glomerular Filtration, Male
or Estimated Glomerular Filtration, Female
. Meaning they all are exact same measurements and difference is only in gender value.
So, even if I map all of this eGFR, that should be fine?
We can any find the gender info from the patient demographic.
Am I right to understand this? It’s just the level of info that was keyed in the EHR system?
