Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Calculate sodium restriction target for cirrhosis patients with ascites, and estimate fluid restriction needs based on serum sodium and disease severity

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Serum sodium — The serum sodium recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Disease severity — The disease severity recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the cirrhosis sodium limit result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the serum sodium, disease severity for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate sodium restriction target for cirrhosis patients with ascites, and estimate fluid restriction needs based on serum sodium and disease severity. Use the cirrhosis sodium limit result to inform your calculation.
