Creatinine Clearance Calculator
The Cockcroft-Gault equation is a formula used to estimate creatinine clearance, which is a measure of how well the kidneys are working to filter waste products from the blood. Creatinine clearance can be used to determine the appropriate dosage of certain medications that are eliminated from the body through the kidneys. It's important to note that the Cockcroft-Gault equation is an estimate of creatinine clearance and may not be accurate in all cases. Other factors, such as muscle mass, can also affect creatinine clearance and should be considered when determining the appropriate dosage of medications.
