Allopurinol Renal Dose Adjustment — Avoid <20 mL/min

Adjust allopurinol dose based on CrCl for gout management in CKD, avoiding doses >100 mg/day when CrCl <20 mL/min due to oxypurinol accumulation and severe allopurinol hypersensitivity syndrome risk.

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

Adjust allopurinol dose based on CrCl for gout management in CKD, avoiding doses >100 mg/day when CrCl <20 mL/min due to oxypurinol accumulation and severe allopurinol hypersensitivity syndrome risk

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • CrCl — The crcl recorded for the scenario being assessed.

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

How to Use

Enter the CrCl for the scenario you are assessing. Adjust allopurinol dose based on CrCl for gout management in CKD, avoiding doses >100 mg/day when CrCl <20 mL/min due to oxypurinol accumulation and severe allopurinol hypersensitivity syndrome risk. Use the allopurinol renal dose result to inform your calculation.
