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

Adjust CAPD prescription based on peritoneal transport type. High transporters: reduce dwell times; low transporters: use longer dwells with icodextrin

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Peritoneal transport type — The peritoneal transport type recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the capd dose result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the peritoneal transport type for the scenario you are assessing. Adjust CAPD prescription based on peritoneal transport type. High transporters: reduce dwell times; low transporters: use longer dwells with icodextrin. Use the capd dose result to inform your calculation.
