What it calculates
The “Cockcroft-Gault (CrCl)” calculator computes Creatinine clearance in mL/min from 4 parameters: age (years), body weight (kg), serum creatinine (µmol/L), female (1 = yes).
Used by professionals and patients to assess health metrics, dosages, and risks.
Example calculation
With parameters Age = 60 years, Body weight = 72 kg, Serum creatinine = 88.4 µmol/L, Female (1 = yes) = 0 the result is 80 mL/min (Not indexed to 1.73 m²).

FAQ
How is BMI calculated?
BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)². Example: 70 kg / (1.75 m)² = 22.9. The WHO normal range is 18.5–24.9; below that is underweight, 25–29.9 is overweight, and 30+ is obese.
Is BMI accurate for everyone?
No. BMI does not distinguish muscle from fat, so athletes may show a high BMI with low body fat. It is also less reliable for teenagers, pregnant people, older adults, and very tall or short individuals.
What are the BMI categories?
Underweight: below 18.5. Normal: 18.5–24.9. Overweight: 25–29.9. Obese class I: 30–34.9; class II: 35–39.9; class III: 40+.
What is a better measure than BMI?
Body fat percentage, waist-to-height ratio (aim for under 0.5), and waist circumference give a clearer picture of health than BMI alone.
