Cockcroft-Gault creatinine clearance — egfr_cockcroft

Estimates creatinine clearance (not BSA-normalised eGFR) using the Cockcroft-Gault equation (Cockcroft & Gault, 1976). Commonly used for drug dosing.

Usage

egfr_cockcroft_gault(
  creatinine,
  age,
  sex,
  weight,
  creatinine_units = "mg/dl",

)

creatinine: Numeric vector of serum creatinine.
age: Numeric vector of age in years.
sex: Vector of sex labels (see label_sex_male/label_sex_female).
weight: Numeric vector of body weight in kilograms.
creatinine_units: Units of creatinine: "mg/dl" (default) or "umol/l".
label_sex_male, label_sex_female: Values in sex that denote male and female records. Defaults to "male"/"female".

Numeric vector of creatinine clearance in mL/min.
