In physiology, the creatinine clearance is a measure of kidney function in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Creatinine clearance and glomerular filtration rate
The creatinine clearance approximates the glomerular filtration rate. However, the creatinine clearance systematically overestimates the GFR due to excretion creatinine by the renal tubules. The correction factor is below:[1]
Food and Drug Administration provides guidance on the labeling of prescription medications to guide dosing for patients with impaired renal function.[2] Although this categorization uses estimated creatinine clearance, using estimated glomerular filtration yields similar recommendations for dosing adjustments.[3]
Direct measurement of the creatinine clearance
By measuring the amount of creatinine excreted in the urine over one day, the creatinine clearance may be calculated. Creatinine is an endogenous molecule, synthesized in the body, which is freely filtered by the glomerulus (but also secreted by the renal tubules in very small amounts). Creatinine clearance is therefore a close approximation of the glomerular filtration rate. The formula for the creatinine clearance is:[1]
Example: A person has a plasma creatinine concentration of 0.01 mg/ml and in 1 hour he excretes 75 mg of creatinine in the urine. The GFR is calculated as M/P (where M is the mass of creatinine excreted per unit time and P is the plasma concentration of creatinine).
Estimating the creatinine clearance
The Cockcroft-Gault formula may be used to estimate the creatinine clearance without having to collect urine over a period of time.[4] However, it does not correlate as strongly with the GFR as do the MRDR formula.[5]
The Cockcroft-Gault formula may use the ideal body weight (IBW) instead of actual body weight(ACT).[3][6] If the ideal body weight is used, "if ACT was less than IBW, then ACT was used or if ACT exceeded IBW by > 30%, ABW was used. The adjusted body weight (ABW) is calculated:
The Estimated Creatinine Clearance then estimates GFR:[1]
