The Cockcroft-Gault Creatinine Clearance (CrCl) Calculator is a widely used tool to estimate a patient’s kidney function. It uses a formula incorporating a patient’s age, weight, sex, and serum creatinine level to calculate an estimated creatinine clearance in mL/min. This estimate is crucial for healthcare professionals, particularly for adjusting drug dosages in patients with impaired kidney function, ensuring medication safety and efficacy. While newer equations exist, Cockcroft-Gault remains commonly referenced due to its historical use in drug development studies.
