ABSTRACT
A comparative study between two methods for estimation creatinine clearance. It selected that gold standard to the 24 hours urine recollect method and determine creatinine Jaffe end point. The results was comparative with Cockcroft-Gault equation. It used a sample the 58 patients that went Clinical Laboratory Service at Hospital Universitario GAL de Cienfuegos, during December of the 2006 with creatinine clearance indication. It was calculate the nosographic sensibility, specific and accurance. It obtain good results for both methods and it recommends the use of Cockcroft-Gault equation, because to more sheep, and rapidly results and easy perform.
