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

Determine PCNL approach: single vs staged session based on stone burden, residual stone, patient factors, and Guys Stone Score

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Stone burden — The stone burden recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Residual stone — The residual stone recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Patient factors — The patient factors recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the pcnl session strategy result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the stone burden, residual stone, patient factors for the scenario you are assessing. Determine PCNL approach: single vs staged session based on stone burden, residual stone, patient factors, and Guys Stone Score. Use the pcnl session strategy result to inform your calculation.
