What is normal CrCl?

What is normal CrCl?

Normal values are: Male: 97 to 137 mL/min (1.65 to 2.33 mL/s). Female: 88 to 128 mL/min (14.96 to 2.18 mL/s).

How do I calculate CrCl?

Creatinine Clearance Calculator Creatinine Clearance = [[140 – age(yr)]*weight(kg)]/[72*serum Cr(mg/dL)] (multiply by 0.85 for women).

What does low CRCL mean?

Low creatinine clearance levels can mean you have chronic kidney disease or serious kidney damage. Kidney damage can be from conditions such as a life-threatening infection, shock, cancer, low blood flow to the kidneys, or urinary tract blockage.

What does CrCl mean?

Definition. The creatinine clearance test helps provide information about how well the kidneys are working. The test compares the creatinine level in urine with the creatinine level in blood.

What if creatinine clearance is high?

The creatinine clearance test checks your kidney function by looking at the amount of creatinine in your urine and blood. Creatinine is a waste product that’s typically filtered out of your blood by your kidneys. Abnormal levels of creatinine could be a sign of kidney failure.

Is CrCl better than GFR?

If a laboratory is using standardized methods, creatinine clearance measurements will consistently be 10 to 20 percent higher than GFR in patients with a normal GFR and progressively higher as the GFR falls.

How do I adjust CrCl for BSA?

In pediatrics, it is generally corrected to a body surface area of 1.73 m2 (standard body surface area of an adult). The formula for the calculation is as below. The BSA here is calculated from the height and weight with the formula of DuBois and DuBois….Creatinine Clearance.

What happens if creatinine clearance is high?

Though less common, creatinine clearance can be abnormally high. This indicates a more rapid filtration of the blood and may occur in pregnancy and in some people with diabetes. Having a creatinine clearance in the normal range is not a complete assurance that the kidneys are working properly.
