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)
