The Creatinine Clearance Calculator estimates kidney function and categorizes it using input data such as age, weight, serum creatinine levels, gender, and height, providing results like the Cockcroft-Gault creatinine clearance and its normalization to a standard body surface area.

Guide to Using the Creatinine Clearance Calculator
Step 1: Provide Basic User Information
Start by entering your details which are necessary for calculating creatinine clearance.
- Enter Age: Input your age in years. Ensure it is between 18 and 120, as values outside this range may not be accepted.
- Enter Weight: Provide your weight in kilograms. The acceptable range is between 20 and 300 kg.
- Select Gender: Choose your gender by selecting either ‘Male’ or ‘Female’ from the options provided.
Step 2: Enter Serum Creatinine Level
Input your serum creatinine level in mg/dL. It must be a value between 0.1 and 20. You can use increments of 0.1 if necessary.
Step 3: Get Results and Interpret Them
- Creatinine Clearance (Cockcroft-Gault): The calculator will compute your creatinine clearance using the Cockcroft-Gault formula. The result will be displayed in mL/min, rounded to one decimal place.
- Creatinine Clearance (normalized to 1.73 m² BSA): This value takes into account your body surface area (BSA) for further accuracy, displayed in mL/min/1.73m².
- Kidney Function Category: The calculator will categorize your kidney function based on the Cockcroft-Gault result. Possible categories include ‘Normal or High’, ‘Mildly Decreased’, ‘Moderately Decreased’, ‘Severely Decreased’, and ‘Kidney Failure’.
Ensure that all inputs are correctly entered to obtain an accurate assessment of creatinine clearance and kidney function.
