# CockCroft Gault Equation
### CockCroft Gault Equation is an equation which is used to calculate the eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) of a patient
### CockCroft Gault Equation is an equation which is used to calculate the CrCl (Creatinine Clearance) of a patient
### Unit:- mL/min

### Formula
#### It uses the following formula to calculate the GFR
#### It uses the following formula to calculate the CrCl
$$
GFR = \frac{(140 - Age)}{(72 \times S. Creatinine)} \times 0.85 \text{(if patient is female)}
CrCl = \frac{(140 - Age)}{(72 \times S. Creatinine)} \times 0.85 \text{(if patient is female)}

| **less than 15 mL/min** | **CKD Stage 5 / ESRD** | **Renal Function is severely reduced** |
### Notice:-
#### This equation of calculating eGFR is not as accurate, other equations like MDRD and CKD-EPI are recommended. Equation is not reliable in the cases of AKI (Acute Kidney Injury). Consultation with a Nephrologist is always recommended. No diagnosis should be made just on the basis of a medical calculator. Other clinical clues are to be taken into account (Urinalysis, UACR(Urine Albumin to Creatinine Ratio) etc.)
