Description

Otani et al reported an equation for estimating renal function in an elderly Japanese adult. It is based on the Cockcroft-Gault equation. The authors are from Tokushima University, Naruto Yamakami Hospital and Showa University in Japan.


Patient selection: bedridden elderly Japanese adult, >= 65 years of age

 

Parameters:

(1) age in years

(2) weight in kilograms

(3) serum creatinine in mg/dL

(4) sex

(5) triceps skinfold (TSF) thickness in mm

 

Sex

Points

male

1

female

0.85

 

estimated creatinine clearance in mL/min =

= (1.11 * (140 - (age)) * (weight) / (72 * ((creatinine) + 0.2)) * (points for sex)) - (0.93 *(TSF)) + 5.75
