Creatinine Clearance

The creatinine clearance is a measure of the glomerular filtration rate( GFR), which is, the volume of filtrate made by the kidneys per minute. The creatinine clearance is calculated after measuring the volume of urine passed in 24 hours and the urine and serum creatinine levels. A correction factor is used for body size.
