Meaning and Clinical Context
A measure of the kidney's ability to filter creatinine from the blood, used to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
Creatinine clearance is calculated using a 24-hour urine collection and serum creatinine level to assess renal function, particularly in patients with suspected or known kidney disease.

Example in Use
English: The patient's creatinine clearance was calculated at 45 mL/min, indicating stage 3 chronic kidney disease.
Turkish: Hastanın kreatinin klirensi 45 mL/dk olarak hesaplandı, bu da evre 3 kronik böbrek hastalığını gösteriyor.
Clinical Notes
Scenario
