How the Creatinine Clearance Works
Creatinine clearance estimates how quickly your kidneys clear creatinine from the blood. Unlike eGFR, it uses your body weight.
Doctors and pharmacists use it to adjust the dose of some medicines. Share the result with your doctor; do not change any medicine yourself.

Creatinine Clearance — Questions
Is this the same as eGFR?
No. They are related but calculated differently. eGFR is used to stage kidney disease; creatinine clearance is mainly used for medicine doses.
