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 sevelamer carbonate starting dose from serum phosphate: phosphate 1.8-2.4: 800mg TID; 2.4-2.9: 1600mg TID; >2.9: 2400mg TID

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Serum phosphate: phosphate 1 — The serum phosphate: phosphate 1 recorded for the scenario being assessed.

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

How to Use

Enter the serum phosphate: phosphate 1 for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate sevelamer carbonate starting dose from serum phosphate: phosphate 1.8-2.4: 800mg TID; 2.4-2.9: 1600mg TID; >2.9: 2400mg TID. Use the sevelamer dose result to inform your calculation.
