Calculate creatinine clearance by the Cockcroft-Gault equation
Arguments
- creatinine
Numeric vector. Serum creatinine, could be expressed in "micromol/L", "mmol/L" or "mg/dL". Units of measurement should be defined in variable creatinine_units (if not defined explicitly by user, the default value is "micromol/L").
- age
Numeric vector. Age, in years.
- sex
Vector. The value of variable refers to the parameters label_sex_male and label_sex_female.
- weight
Numeric vector. Weight, kg.
- creatinine_units
Character string. Units in which serum creatinne is expressed. Could be one of the following: "micromol/L", "mmol/L" or "mg/dL".
- label_sex_male
List. Label(s) for definition(s) of male sex.
- label_sex_female
List. Label(s) for definition(s) of female sex.
- max_age
Numeric. Maximal age suitable for the equation application, in years. By default is 100 years, but change this value in case you would like to apply equation to older persons.
