- Serum creatinine within normal limits or calculated clearance ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 for patients with serum creatinine levels above or below the institutional normal value. If using creatinine clearance, actual body weight should be used for calculating creatinine clearance (eg, using the Cockcroft-Gault formula). For patients with a body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m^2, lean body weight should be used instead.
