Exercise 42

Given the following information, calculate the creatinine clearance:

24-hour urine volume: 1000 mL; serum creatinine:2.0 mg/dL; urine creatinine: 200 mg/dL

Step 1 of 3

Compute the creatinine clearance :

Formula to calculate creatinine clearance is given below,

…………………… (1)

Where,

Creatinine clearance in mL/min (milliliter per minute)

- Urine creatinine in mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter)

V - Urine volume in mL per min

- Serum creatinine in mg/dL
