Creatinine Clearance Calculator

Return to SydPath Homepage
Cockroft & Gault


 

 

 
Calculated Creatinine Clearance (Cockroft and Gault Formula)
NB: Requires creatinine in mmol/L (for umol/L click here)
Plasma creatinine (mmol/l)
Age (years)
Weight (kg)
Sex (m or f) (lower case only)
oOo

Creatinine clearance (mL/sec):

   1.5 - 2.5 mL/s

Formula:

 {(140 - Age) x wt (kg) x F} / (Plasma Creatinine * 48816)
Where F = 1 if male, and 0.85 if female
  • Enter data in table and creatinine Clearance will be calculated according to the Cockcroft and Gault Formula (Nephron 1976;16:31-41).
  • Suitable for adults only.
  • The required inputs are plasma creatinine, age, weight and sex.
  • Note that the result will differ from the true value at extremes of body composition.
  • The data is not stored electronically all transcriptions must be checked for errors.
