Renal Pharmacology Dosing Equation

Creatinine Clearance (Cockcroft-Gault)

Estimate creatinine clearance (CrCl) to assess renal filtration rate and determine accurate drug dosage adjustments for renally-cleared medications.

Patient Parameters

Normal reference: 0.7 – 1.3 mg/dL

Estimated Creatinine Clearance

Cockcroft-Gault Creatinine Clearance (CrCl)
75.1 mL/min

Formula: [((140 - Age) × Weight) / (72 × SCr)]

Renal Function Classification:Stage 2 (Mild Reduction)

Mildly decreased kidney function. Monitor blood pressure, blood glucose, and avoid nephrotoxic NSAIDs.

Clinical Application: Used across standard pharmacopoeias (CDSCO, FDA, BNF) to adjust antibiotic, anticoagulant, and antihypertensive doses in patients with impaired renal clearance.
