Description Usage Arguments Details Value References

cal_crcl calculates the creatinine clearance using the Cockcroft-Gault equation

1	calc_crcl(age, sex, scr, weight, height)

`age`	A numeric with the patient's age
`sex`	A character indicating patient's gender, as "Male" or "Female"
`scr`	A numeric with the serum creatinine, in mg/dL
`weight`	A numeric with the patient's actual body weight, in kg
`height`	A numeric with the patient's height, in cm

This function calculates the creatinine clearance for a patient based on the Cockcroft-Gault equation: CrCl[mL/min] = Sex * ((140 - Age[yr]) / Serum Creatinine[mg/dL]) * (Lean Body Weight[kg] / 72); where Sex = 1 for Males and Sex = 0.85 for Females.

A numeric, creatinine clearance in mL/min
