Calvert Equation Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Dose Using the Calvert Equation (D) is:

\[ D = AUC \times (GFR + 25) \]

Where:

\( D \) is the Dose Using the Calvert Equation (mg)
\( AUC \) is the area under the plasma concentration curve (mg/ml/min)
\( GFR \) is the glomerular filtration rate (ml/min)

Definition

Dose Using the Calvert Equation (D): The calculated dose based on the Calvert equation.
Area Under the Plasma Concentration Curve (AUC): The area under the plasma concentration curve in mg/ml/min.
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR): The glomerular filtration rate in ml/min.
Significance: This calculation is used in medical dosing to ensure accurate and safe medication administration.

Example

Let's say the area under the plasma concentration curve (AUC) is 5 mg/ml/min and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is 100 ml/min. Using the formula:

\[ D = 5 \times (100 + 25) = 625 \]

So, the Dose Using the Calvert Equation (D) is 625 mg.
