Reference Interval (varies according to population and method used):
Women: 75-115 ml/min
Men: 85-125 ml/min
Creatinine clearance is the milliliters (ml) of plasma which are cleared of creatinine by the kidney per minute.
This result is normalized to a standard person surface area by using the patient's weight and height.
The creatinine clearance is frequently used to assess the renal function (glomerular filtration rate) in persons with symptoms of history of renal disease and in patients who have had antibiotics and as a result are suffering from renal toxicity.
