Cockcroft–Gault Formula – Estimation of Renal Function-Health awareness

Cockcroft–Gault Formula – Estimation of Renal Function

Creatinine Clearance (mL/min) = 140 – Age (years) x Weight (kg)

72 x Serum Creatinine (mg/dl)

Note:

• To convert serum creatinine from (micromol/litre) umol/l to mg/dl divide the above formula by 88.4
• For women multiply the above formula by 0.85

5 categories of renal function:

Creatinine clearance	Stage of renal disease
> 75 mL/min	Normal
50 – 74 mL/min	Mild Renal Insufficiency
35 – 49 mL/min	Moderate Renal Insufficiency
< 35 mL/min	Severe Renal Insufficiency
on dialysis	End-Stage Renal Disease
