Cockcroft-Gault revisited: New de-liver-ance on recommendations for use in cirrhosis

Figure 1 Impact of various body weights used in estimating creatinine clearance from Winter et al[1]. In patients with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m², using AdjBW0.4 was the most accurate weight to estimate CrCl when compared to a 24-h urine CrCl. Under Wt: BMI < 18.5 kg/m²; Normal Wt: BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m²; Overweight: BMI 25-29.9 kg/m²; Obese: BMI 30-39.9 kg/m²; Morbidly obese: BMI ≥ 40 kg/m²; CrCl: Creatinine clearance; ActBW: Actual body weight; IBW: Ideal body weight; AdjBW: Adjusted body weight; LBW: Lean body weight; BMI: Body mass index.
