its an equation used to calculate gfr in adults. The formula for the Cockcroft-Gault equation: Estimated creatinine clearance, or GFR = [(140-Age) * Mass (in kg)] \ [72 * Serum creatinine (in mg/dL)] If the patient is female, multiply the above by 0.85 The steps, for clarity, are as follows: 1) Subtract the patient's age from 140 2) Multiply by the mass of the patient in kg 3) Multiply the patient's serum creatinine (in mg/dL) by 72 4) Divide the total from 2) by the total from 3) 5) If the patient is female, take the total from 4) and multiply by 0.85
Inverse proportion implies xy = c where c is the constant of [inverse] proportionality. x = 2 and y = 36 implies xy = 72 = c So the relationship is xy = 72 Then, if x = 4, y = 72/x = 72/4 = 18
