Cockcroft-Gault Creatinine Clearance Calculator
This calculator estimates creatinine clearance (CrCl) using the Cockcroft-Gault equation. It helps assess kidney function based on age, weight, serum creatinine, and gender, making it a valuable tool in medication dosing and renal function monitoring.
Kidney Function Estimator Using Cockcroft-Gault Formula
Cockcroft-Gault Equation for Creatinine Clearance
Where:
- $$CrCl$$ = Creatinine Clearance (mL/min)
- $$Age$$ = Patient’s age in years
- $$Weight$$ = Body weight in kg
- $$Scr$$ = Serum creatinine (mg/dL)
- The formula for females includes a correction factor of 0.85
The Cockcroft-Gault equation is commonly used to estimate creatinine clearance, which reflects kidney filtration efficiency. It is especially useful in adjusting drug dosages for patients with impaired renal function. This formula considers age, body weight, and serum creatinine, with a gender-specific adjustment for females. It is a standard method in clinical pharmacology and nephrology for evaluating renal performance.
