About the Cockcroft-Gault equation

A simple way to estimate kidney function

Creatinine clearance is an estimate of Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), which is the volume of fluid filtered by the kidneys per unit time. GFR is difficult to measure directly, so methods to estimate GFR such as the Cockcroft-Gault equation were developed.

Cockcroft-Gault equation is probably the most common method to estimate Creatinine Clearance. This formula uses serum creatinine measurements (from blood tests), age, gender, and weight.

One major advantage of the Cockcroft-Gault equation is the relative simplicity of the method (no exponents).
