crcl.cg: Creatinine Clearance Using the Cockroft-Gault Formula

In benjaminrich/PCSmisc: Useful functions for longitudinal data set construction and manipulation.

Description

Computes estimated creatinine clearance using the Cockroft-Gault formula.

Usage

crcl.cg(..., scr.mg.dL, weight.kg, age.yr, is.female, scr.umol.L, scr.conversion.factor = 88.4)

Arguments

...	Ignored. This forces all parameters to be named, which is safer.
scr.mg.dL	Numeric. Serum creatinine in mg/dL.
weight.kg	Numeric. Body weight in kilograms.
age.yr	Numeric. Age in years.
is.female	Logical. TRUE for females, FALSE for males.
scr.umol.L	Numeric. Alternative specification of serum creatinine in umol/L.
scr.conversion.factor	Numeric. A factor for converting serum creatinine from umol/L to mg/dL.

Details

All arguments can be vectors.

Value

A numeric vector containing the estimated creatinine clearance in mL/min.
