Phenytoin Free Level Correction for Hypoalbuminemia

Calculate corrected (adjusted) phenytoin level for hypoalbuminemia or renal failure using the Sheiner-Tozer equation to avoid under- or overdosing based on misleading total phenytoin concentrations.

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 corrected (adjusted) phenytoin level for hypoalbuminemia or renal failure using the Sheiner-Tozer equation to avoid under- or overdosing based on misleading total phenytoin concentrations

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Sheiner-Tozer equation — The sheiner-tozer equation recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the phenytoin albumin correction result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the Sheiner-Tozer equation for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate corrected (adjusted) phenytoin level for hypoalbuminemia or renal failure using the Sheiner-Tozer equation to avoid under- or overdosing based on misleading total phenytoin concentrations. Use the phenytoin albumin correction result to inform your calculation.
