Calculate estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) and Creatinine Clearance (CrCl) to determine exact milligram dose adjustments and avoid toxicity across antibiotics, DOACs, diabetes drugs, and analgesics.
Normal: 0.7–1.3 mg/dL
Adults 18+ validation
Muscle mass calibration
Used for Cockcroft-Gault
FDA Labeling Guidelines
Glomerular filtration per standard body surface area.
Estimated absolute clearance used in pharmaceutical package inserts.
Standard Dosing: 1,000 mg twice daily (2,000 mg/day max)
While CKD-EPI 2021 is the international gold standard for kidney disease diagnosis and staging, the US FDA historically approved thousands of drug package inserts using the Cockcroft-Gault equation.
In elderly or low-weight patients, Cockcroft-Gault CrCl is often lower than eGFR. Clinicians should use the safer (lower) estimate to prevent toxic accumulation.
