In transplantr: Audit and Research Functions for Transplantation

Description

A wrapper function for cockcroft(), a vectorised function to estimate creatinine clearance using the Cockcroft-Gault equation, but using creatinine in mg/dl

Usage

cockcroft_US(creat, age, sex, weight)

Arguments

creat	numeric vector of creatinine levels in mg/dl
age	numeric vector of ages in years
sex	character vector of sex ("F" = female, "M" = male)
weight	numeric vector of weights in kilograms

Details

Reference: Cockcroft DW, Gault MH. Prediction of creatinine clearance from serum creatinine. Nephron 1976; 16(1):31-41

Value

numeric vector of creatinine clearances in ml/min

Examples

cockcroft_US(creat = 1, age = 25, sex = "F", weight = 60)
