From: Serum Creatinine Is an Inadequate Screening Test for Renal Failure in Elderly Patients Arch Intern Med. 2003;163(3): doi: /archinte Comparison of serum creatinine level in the 55 men and women with severe renal failure (Cockcroft and Gault formula glomerular filtration rate [C-G GFR], ≤30 mL/min). Women had significantly lower mean serum creatinine values than men, despite a similar level of renal function. This is likely because of the smaller muscle mass of women compared with men, as suggested by the women's significantly lower mean weight. The asterisk indicates P<.005. To convert creatinine to milligrams per deciliter, divide by Figure Legend:
