Enzymatic creatinine assay and chemotherapy

Dear all

We are changing our creatinine assay from a Jaffe based method to an enzymatic assay in the New Year.

We have had a query from our Pharmacy about the use of the Cockcroft Gault formula for calculating chemotherapy dosage with creatinine measured by the new assay.

What do other laboratories, who also measure creatinine with  an enzymatic method, recommend?

Best wishes for 2010
