AR is a 50-year-old Caucasian woman who is 63 in tall and weighs 165 lb. Her current serum creatinine is 1.6 mg/dL. What is her ideal body weight (IBW)?

IBW (women) = 45.5 + 2.3 (3 in over 5 ft) = 52.4 kg × 2.2 lb/1 kg = 115 lb

What is AR’s creatinine clearance as estimated by the Cockcroft-Gault equation?

CrCl = [(140 − 50) × 52.4 kg /72 × 1.6 mg/dL] × 0.85 = ~35 mL/min
