The baseline method starts with the initial ideal body weight baseline At 38 inches for a male, and 40 inchesįor a female, the IBW is ZERO. Inches, the result is reasonable, however, 2.3 kg/inch is excessive when IBW (Female) = 45.5kg - 2.3kg for each inch below 60 inchesĬomments: For patients just a few inches below 60 IBW (Male) = 50kg - 2.3kg for each inch below 60 inches Not changed or added any new methods for estimating an ideal body weightįor patients less than 60 inches tall. A quick review of the recent literature has Output of this section is based on research I had completed ~20 yearsĪgo on this subject.

Ideal body weight (IBW) or an adjusted body weight (ABW) in obese patients However, the most commonly used version of this equation incorporates the The original Cockcroft and Gault equation utilized total body weight, Male: CrCl (ml/min) = (140 - age) x wt (kg) / (serum creatinine x 72)Ĭockcroft DW, Gault MH.

Multi-clearance output should help you make an informed decision in determining In a few test patients the calculated carboplatin dose wasĬonsiderably higher with this new method. Potential for significant disparity in dosage compared to conventional clearanceĮquations. After reviewing several test patients, there is Based on new research (see below), the CKD-EPI equation (corrected for BSA) was added as anĪdditional clearance equation.
