Practice question from Creatinine Clearance & Dose Adjustments

When calculating CrCl using Cockcroft-Gault: CrCl = [(140 - age) × __] ÷ [72 × __]

Answer

["IBW","SCr"]

Explanation

The Cockcroft-Gault equation uses Ideal Body Weight (IBW) in kilograms and Serum Creatinine (SCr) in mg/dL. Using actual body weight instead of IBW is a common error that leads to overestimation of kidney function.
