ICU Protein Target Calculator

Calculates protein targets for critically ill patients. Standard critically ill: 1.2–2 g/kg/day. Burns >20% BSA or major trauma: 2–2.5 g/kg/day. Severe AKI not on RRT: may reduce to 0.8–1.0 g/kg to reduce BUN. CRRT: increase to 1.5–2.5 g/kg to replace dialysis losses. Hepatic encephalopathy: not a reason to restrict protein — use 1.2–1.5 g/kg standard amino acids.
