Resumo

5 The Cockcroft and Gault formula [1] for estimation (since there are 1440 min in 24 h) of creatinine clearance (CCr) is well known by clinicians and universally used to estimate renal function then CCr ml/min= [28−(0.2×age)]×BW×5 1440×5×SCr (mg/ml ) reliably without the pitfalls of 24-h urine collection. Its use for estimation of 24-h creatininuria (namely when serum creatinine (SCr) is not available), is, = (140−age)×BW
