Evaluation of the Accuracy of Standard Renal Function Equations in Critically Ill Patients with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

ConclusionsThe Cockcroft –Gault equation may be the best renal function equation to assess in critically ill patients diagnosed with aSAH. However, accuracy and consistency in assessing renal function when compared to the BSA-adjusted 8-h CrCl were lacking. Thus, this study suggests the BSA-adjusted 8-h CrCl may be the mo st appropriate assessment of renal function in patients with aSAH.
