This is an ask for an enhancement of the Cockcroft-Gault calculation for estimated creatine clearance when site lab uses IDMS methodology for serum creatinine for patient.
Current formula: [ (140-age) * Wt ] / ( SCr * 72 )
Conversion to Conventional: SCr (mg/dL) = ( IDMSSCr ) ∗ 1.065 + 0.067
Final formula: [ ( 140-age ) * Wt ] / [ ( IDMSSCr * 1.065 + 0.067 ) * 72 ]
