Using the Cockcroft-Gault Method, what is the estimated creatinine clearance for a 49-year-old male patient who weighs 154 pounds and has a serum creatinine of 0.8 mg/dL?
a 110 mL/min
b 94 mL/min
c 114 mL/min
d 103 mL/min
Homework Answers
ANSWER.
* Calculation of creatinine clearance.
According to Cockcroft-Gault method.
*Creatinine clearance (Male) = ([140-age] * weight in kg)/ (serum creatinine * 72).
Here
Age = 49 yrs.
Weight = 154 pounds
Convert pound to kg for calculation
1 pound = 0.45 kg.
So
Weight in kg = 154 * 0.45
= 69.3 kg.
Serum creatinine = 0.8 mg/dL.
As per formula
Creatinine clearance = ([140 - 49] * 69.3] / (0.8 * 72)
= ([91 * 69.3] / 57.6)
= 6306.3 / 57.6
a = 110 mL/min.

Patient #1 is a 35yo male who brought in a urine jug for a 24hr creatinine clearance. The volume of the urine was 1000mL. The patient’s height is 6ft and he weighs 230lbs, with an approximate body surface area of 2.24. Creatinine Clearance Results: Range Serum Creatinine: 0.8mg/dL (0.6-1.2) mg/dL Urine Creatinine: 66.2mg/dL Clearance Rate: (85-125) mL/min Determine the Clearance Rate. What is the discrepancy in these results? Name at least 3 possible reasons for this discrepancy:

Case #4 Mr. Ali. is a seriously ill 42-year-old male with a history of several episodes of microscopic hematuria in the past 20 years. Until recently the macroscopic hematuria had spontaneously reverted to a symptomatic microscopic hematuria. Significant lab results include a BUN of 80 mg/dl (N:8-23 mg/dl), serum creatinine of 4.5 mg/dl (N:0.6-1.2 mg/dl), creatinine clearance of 20 ml/min (N:107-139 ml/min), serum calcium of 8.0 mg/dl (N: 9.2-11.0 mg/dl), serum phosphate of 6.0 mg/dl (N:2.3-4.7 mg/dl), and an elevated...
