Question

What is PK's estimated creatinine clearance on 10/18? (Answer must be numeric; no units or commas; round the final answer to the nearest WHOLE number.)

Answer 1

To estimate PK's creatinine clearance on 10/18, we use the CC formula and correct it for BSA.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate PK's estimated creatinine clearance on 10/18, we need to use the formula for creatinine clearance (CC) and correct it for body surface area (BSA).

First, we calculate BSA using the average formula: BSA = 0.007184 x weight^(0.425) x height^(0.725).

Then, we can use the corrected CC formula: CCcr = (U x V) / B, where U is the concentration of creatinine in urine, V is the urine flow rate, and B is the concentration of creatinine in plasma.

Using the given information and assuming PK is an average-sized man, we can calculate PK's estimated creatinine clearance on 10/18.
