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

Guide phosphate binder selection and dosing based on dietary phosphate load and serum phosphate target (3.5-5.5 mg/dL) in CKD/ESRD patients

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Dietary phosphate load — The dietary phosphate load recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Serum phosphate target (3 — The serum phosphate target (3 recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the phosphate binders result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the dietary phosphate load, serum phosphate target (3 for the scenario you are assessing. Guide phosphate binder selection and dosing based on dietary phosphate load and serum phosphate target (3.5-5.5 mg/dL) in CKD/ESRD patients. Use the phosphate binders result to inform your calculation.
