CrCl (Actual BW)
Ideal Body Weight

Formula

CrCl (mL/min) = [(140 − Age) × Weight (kg) × (0.85 if female)] / [72 × Cr (mg/dL)]

  • If actual BW > 30% above IBW, use adjusted BW = IBW + 0.4 × (ABW − IBW)
  • IBW (male) = 50 + 2.3 × (height in inches − 60)
  • IBW (female) = 45.5 + 2.3 × (height in inches − 60)
