It appears that the Cockcroft-Gault equation may over estimate
creatinine clearance (CLcr) in Chinese subjects. In addition CLcr
derived from total 24 hr urine creatinine and serum creatinine at 12
hr give values that seem higher than those of Caucasians or
Hispanics. Has anyone observed this apparent difference? Any
literature references would be helpful. Thanks
Dave
