These reference values for healthy, term-born neonates show a biphasic increase in GFR, with the largest increase between days 1 and 5. Together with the re-examined Schwartz equation, this can help identify altered GFR in term-born neonates. To enable widespread implementation of our proposed eGFR equation, validation in a large cohort of neonates is required.
