Calculate the creatinine clearance of a 59-year old female patient with 132 lb of weight. The serum creatinine level of the patient is 0.83 mg/dL.
Jelliffe formula:
`CrCl_{m}=(98-0.8×(ag e-20))/(Serum \quad Cr)`
`CrCl_{f}=CrCl_{m} × 0.9`

lb equals 72.434 mL/min kg
-
Body weight =
132 lb = `(132 \quad lb)×(1 \quad kg)/(2.2 lb) =60 \quad kg`
This patient is female.
Plugging values in Jelliffe equation:
`CrCl_{f}=(98-0.8×(ag e-20))/(Serum \quad Cr)×0.9`
`∴ CrCl_{f}=(98-0.8×(59-20))/(0.83)×0.9`
`∴ CrCl_{f}=72.434`
Thus, the creatinine clearance of this patient is: 72.434 mL/min. (Ans).
