Description
Creatinine Pretreatment Unit of Measure identifies the unit of measure for the creatinine value measured in blood or serum prior to treatment. Creatinine is commonly measured in units of Milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL) in the United States and Micromoles/liter (umol/L) in Canada and Europe.
Rationale
Creatinine Pretreatment is a Registry Data Collection Variable in AJCC. Creatinine Pretreatment Unit of Measure is needed to identify the unit in which creatinine is measured and was previously collected as Liver, CS SSF# 5.
