To calculate creatinine clearance, age, height, weight, and gender in the Patient Parameters section and serum creatinine in Creatinine Clearance section are required. You can use the Birthdate field to auto-calculate the age. Adjusted weight is used if actual weight is greater than 120% of ideal body weight.
For patient age 65 years or older, the serum creatinine will be rounded to 1.0 if it is less than 1.0.
Enter height and weight and select gender to determine lean body weight (LBW). LBW is used to calculate the dose unless the patient's actual weight is less than LBW. Enter patient's current hemoglobin and target hemoglobin (usually > 14). The weight that will be used for calculations will be displayed as the Dosing weight.
