Amoxicillin Renal Dose Adjustment Calculator

Calculate amoxicillin dose adjustment for renal impairment using the fraction eliminated renally (fe) and kidney function ratio (KF) method: DR = 1 - fe×(1-KF), to prevent accumulation in CKD patients.

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 amoxicillin dose adjustment for renal impairment using the fraction eliminated renally (fe) and kidney function ratio (KF) method: DR = 1 - fe×(1-KF), to prevent accumulation in CKD patients

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Fraction eliminated renally — The fraction eliminated renally recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Kidney function ratio method: DR = 1 - fe× — The kidney function ratio method: dr = 1 - fe× recorded for the scenario being assessed.

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

How to Use

Enter the fraction eliminated renally, kidney function ratio method: DR = 1 - fe× for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate amoxicillin dose adjustment for renal impairment using the fraction eliminated renally (fe) and kidney function ratio (KF) method: DR = 1 - fe×(1-KF), to prevent accumulation in CKD patients. Use the amoxicillin renal dose result to inform your calculation.
