Calculate Cockcroft-Gault creatinine clearance for use in the Calvert carboplatin formula. CrCl = [(140 - age) x weight (kg)] / (72 x serum creatinine mg/dL) x 0.85 (if female). FDA recommends capping at 125 mL/min to avoid overdosing.
Enter the values for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate Cockcroft-Gault creatinine clearance for use in the Calvert carboplatin formula. CrCl = [(140 - age) x weight (kg)] / (72 x serum creatinine mg/dL) x 0.85 (if female). FDA recommends capping at 125 mL/min to avoid overdosing. Use the crcl for carboplatin result to inform your calculation.
