Measured Creatinine Clearance (timed urine)

Measured (timed-urine) creatinine clearance (Stevens/Levey 2009 review) = (urine creatinine x urine volume) / (serum creatinine x collection time in minutes).

Example

Urine creatinine
100 mg/dL
Urine volume
1440 mL
Serum creatinine
1.0 mg/dL
Collection time
24 hours

Result: Measured creatinine clearance 100 mL/min (24-hour timed collection; not BSA-normalized).

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What the result means

value
CrCl (mL/min) = (urine Cr x urine volume mL) / (serum Cr x time min). Typical adult ~90-140 mL/min, falling with age; not BSA-normalized. The measured counterpart to the Cockcroft-Gault estimate.

How this is calculated

Measured creatinine clearance = (urine creatinine x urine volume) / (serum creatinine x collection time) — the C = (U x V) / P clearance identity. Reviewed in Stevens LA, Levey AS. Measured GFR as a confirmatory test for estimated GFR. J Am Soc Nephrol. 2009;20(11):2305-2313. Read the source ↗
