Program is based on the
following:
Estimating Creatinine Clearance (ml/min)
For Men:
[137 - age] x [(0.285 x weight(kg)) + (12.1 x height(m)2)]
-----------------------------------------------------------
(51
x SCr)
For Women:
[146 - age] x [(0.287 x weight(kg)) + (9.74 x height(m)2)]
---------------------------------------------------------
(60
x SCr)
Units: Weight:
kg Height: meters.
