Formula

The Creatinine Clearance Calculator uses the formula:

Creatinine clearance = (140 - Age) × Body weight ÷ (72 × Serum creatinine) × Sex factor (1 male, 0.85 female)

Worked example

For example, with age of 50 years, body weight of 70 kg, serum creatinine of 1 mg/dL and sex factor (1 male, 0.85 female) of 1, the creatinine clearance is 87.5.

Inputs used
Age 50 years
Body weight 70 kg
Serum creatinine 1 mg/dL
Sex factor (1 male, 0.85 female) 1
Results
Creatinine clearance 87.5

Frequently asked questions

It estimates how well the kidneys filter creatinine from the blood, reported in mL/min, and is a marker of kidney function.

The Cockcroft-Gault equation: (140 − age) × weight ÷ (72 × serum creatinine), multiplied by 0.85 for women.

Healthy adults usually fall between about 90 and 120 mL/min; lower values can indicate reduced kidney function.

No. This estimate is for education. Dosing and diagnosis must be confirmed by a clinician with proper lab work.
