Comments:
An order for Serum Creatinine (LAB66) must be ordered and collected
during the 24 hour urine collection for the laboratory to calculate
the Creatinine Clearance. External results will NOT be utilized for the
calculation of this component. The plasma creatinine must be collected
at some time during the 24 hr urine collection for the creatinine
clearance to be calculated.
Not corrected for body surface area. Collection other than 24 hr will not be calculated for G/24 hr. mg/dL and clearance will be calculated on any accurately timed urine. Call lab for nomogram for body surface determination.
