Potassium to Creatinine Ratio Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Potassium to Creatinine Ratio (PCR) is:

$PCR = \frac{P}{C} \times 100$

Where:

$PCR$ is the Potassium to Creatinine Ratio (%)
$P$ is the amount of potassium
$C$ is the amount of creatinine

Potassium to Creatinine Ratio Definition

The Potassium to Creatinine Ratio (PCR) is a measure used to assess the balance between potassium and creatinine levels in the body. It is commonly used in medical diagnostics to evaluate kidney function and electrolyte balance.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Amount of Potassium (P) = 4.5
Amount of Creatinine (C) = 1.2

Using the formula to calculate the Potassium to Creatinine Ratio (PCR):

$PCR = \frac{4.5}{1.2} \times 100 \approx 375$

The Potassium to Creatinine Ratio (PCR) is approximately 375%.
