Creatinine Clearance for 30-Year-Old Female, 70 kg, SCr 0.9
A 30-year-old female weighing 70 kg with serum creatinine of 0.9 mg/dL has an estimated creatinine clearance of approximately 100 mL/min.

Calculate creatinine clearance for a young adult female with normal kidney function.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a normal creatinine clearance?
- A CrCl of roughly 90 mL/min or above is generally considered normal for adults, though it declines naturally with age. Lower values suggest reduced kidney filtration.
- Which weight should I enter?
- Cockcroft-Gault was derived with actual body weight, but clinicians often use ideal or adjusted weight for very lean or heavier patients to avoid over- or underestimating clearance.
- Is creatinine clearance the same as eGFR?
- They are related but not identical. Cockcroft-Gault CrCl is still used for drug dosing, while eGFR equations like CKD-EPI are preferred for staging chronic kidney disease.
