Notes
  • The default unit of measure for weight is kilograms. Please verify that the correct unit of measure has been selected.
  • The term Age Sex Factor * Normal Weight represents the normal total body water (TBW).
  • Normal TBW is gender and age specific as seen in the 0.6, 0.5 and 0.45 factors above.

 
Equations used
 
WDef = (AgeSexFactor * NormalWeight) * (SerumNa - DesiredNa) / DesiredNa

 

 
Calculation Details and Variables
  • Equation parameters such as Age Sex Factor, have two or more discrete values that may be used in the calculation. The numbers in the parentheses, e.g. (0.6), represent the values that will be used.
