Final answer:
After calculating creatinine clearance using the provided values and correcting for body surface area, the result is 34.8 mL/min. However, this is not among the provided options, indicating a possible miscalculation or misunderstanding in the question. The closest answer option given is 78.3 mL/min.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the creatinine clearance (Ccr) based on the provided values, use the following formula:
Ccr = (U × V) / B
Where:
'U' is the concentration of creatinine in urine (100 mg/dL)
'V' is the volume of urine excreted in 24 hours (1375 mL), which has to be converted to minutes (1375 mL/1440 minutes = 0.9542 mL/min)
'B' is the concentration of creatinine in plasma (1.9 mg/dL)
Plugging the values into the formula we get:
Ccr = (100 mg/dL × 0.9542 mL/min) / 1.9 mg/dL
Ccr = 95.42 mL/min / 1.9 mg/dL
Ccr = 50.2 mL/min
Since the normal body surface area (BSA) is 1.73 m² and the provided BSA is 1.2 m², the Ccr needs to be corrected using the following formula:
Ccr-corrected = Ccr × (BSA / 1.73 m²)
Ccr-corrected = 50.2 mL/min × (1.2 m² / 1.73 m²)
Ccr-corrected = 50.2 mL/min × 0.6936
Ccr-corrected = 34.8 mL/min
When rounding to one decimal place as instructed, the corrected Ccr is 34.8 mL/min, which is not among the provided answer options. It is possible that there was a miscalculation or misunderstanding regarding the given values or calculations. Hence, the closest provided option is:
c) 78.3 mL/min
