Equation (Equation)
This formula calculates the creatinine clearance (CLCr) in mL/min based on the age and weight for male patients and a corrected value for female patients. The calculation involves multiplying the difference between 140 and the age in years by the weight in kilograms, and then multiplying the result by 72 times the serum creatinine level in mg/dL. For female patients, an additional correction factor of 0.85 is applied to the final value.*
