Such estimates have been very useful for planning drug dosage regimens for patients (2, 3) : they have been based on stable or changing serum creatinine levels, age, sex, height, and weight.When the serum creatinine level is stable, however, and the patient is an adult from 20 to 80 years old, a bedside estimate that closely approaches those of the computer programs may...References1.
