Prediction of creatinine clearance from serum creatinine in spinal cord injury patients. 1983

M K Mirahmadi, and C Byrne, and C Barton, and N Penera, and S Gordon, and N D Vaziri

Measured endogenous creatinine clearance (Ccr) was compared with the predicted Ccr in 22 paraplegic, 36 tetraplegic and 11 ambulatory male individuals as well as 11 ambulatory females all of whom had normal renal function. While the predicted and measured values closely matched in the ambulatory patients the predicted values in the spinal cord injured patients consistently exceeded the measured values. It thus appears that the original Cockcroft and Gault formula; (formula; see text) when applied to SCI patients can be misleading. Modification of the original formula using a correction factor of 0.8 in paraplegics and 0.6 in tetraplegics was found to allow prediction of Ccr from age, sex, body weight, and serum creatinine in these patients with reasonable accuracy.

D010264 Paraplegia Severe or complete loss of motor function in the lower extremities and lower portions of the trunk. This condition is most often associated with SPINAL CORD DISEASES, although BRAIN DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES; and MUSCULAR DISEASES may also cause bilateral leg weakness.

D011782 Quadriplegia Severe or complete loss of motor function in all four limbs which may result from BRAIN DISEASES; SPINAL CORD DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES; or rarely MUSCULAR DISEASES. The locked-in syndrome is characterized by quadriplegia in combination with cranial muscle paralysis. Consciousness is spared and the only retained voluntary motor activity may be limited eye movements. This condition is usually caused by a lesion in the upper BRAIN STEM which injures the descending cortico-spinal and cortico-bulbar tracts.
