Background

Program is based on the following:
Estimating Creatinine Clearance (ml/min)

For Men:
[137 - age] x [(0.285 x weight(kg)) + (12.1 x height(m)2)]
-----------------------------------------------------------
(51 x SCr)

For Women:
[146 - age] x [(0.287 x weight(kg)) + (9.74 x height(m)2)]
---------------------------------------------------------
(60 x SCr)

Units: Weight: kg Height: meters.
