What Does CLCR Stand For?
CLCR stands for Creatinine Clearance
CLCR, or Creatinine Clearance, is a clinical measure used to assess kidney function by calculating the rate at which creatinine is cleared from the blood by the kidneys. This test involves a comparison of creatinine levels in the blood and urine over a specific time period, typically 24 hours, and is expressed in milliliters per minute (mL/min). CLCR is an important parameter for evaluating renal health, guiding medication dosing, and managing conditions affecting kidney function.
