Comparison of plasma creatinine levels with the glomerular filtration rate showed a strong correlation sufficient to allow estimation of the GFR from the plasma creatinine levels.
estimated creatinine clearance in males =
= (94.3 / (serum creatinine in mg/dL)) - 1.8) mL/min per 1.73 meters-squared BSA
estimated creatinine clearance in females =
= (69.9 / (serum creatinine in mg/dL)) + 2.2) mL/min per 1.73 meters-squared BSA
