Creatinine Clearance Calculation

General Info:

Description:

Creatinine clearance (CrCl) refers to the volume of blood plasma cleared of creatinine per unit time. The Cockcroft-Gault equation has been the standard technique for examining renal function (via creatinine clearance) for drug dosing for decades. CrCl can be estimated using the comparative values of creatinine in blood and urine. This method aids healthcare professionals in designing an effective treatment plan.
