What might the glomerular filtration rate be for a patient with a serum creatinine of 2
mg/dL, if the urine creatinine was 124 mg/dL and the urine volume was 2.2 L/24 hrs? -
Answer 95 mL/min

One way to estimate a glomerular filtration rate is by using creatinine and urine volume
to calculate creatinine clearance. The formula is as follows:



Creatinine Clearance = (urine creatinine X urine flow rate) / plasma creatinine; where
urine flow rate = volume in mL /24 hours x h/60 min)



In this case = creatinine clearance = 124 X (2200/24 x hour/60) / 2 = 94.7 or 95 ml/min



Estrogen and progesterone markers are most commonly used to provide prognostic
information about: - Answer Breast cancer
