FRU/PCR Calculator (Last updated December 2000).
Patient Data (Your Input):
Patient Name: Patient Sex: (m or f)
Pre-dialysis urea: mmol/L Post-dialysis urea: mmol/L
Prepost-dialysis urea: mmol/L Interdialysis time: Hours
Patient Weight (actual weight): Kg Patient Weight (ideal weight): Kg
Results (Calculated Values):
Fractional Reduction of Urea:
Protein Catabolic Rate: g/kg/d
Patient Sex:

Enter the Patient's details in the spaces provided above and click the "calculate" button to obtain results. Note that the calculations are based on the following equations.

FRU=(preurea-posturea)/preurea

PCR Male - (((preposturea-posturea)*0.58*actualweight*24/interdialtime)*0.182/idealweight)+0.17
PCR Female- (((preposturea-posturea)*0.55*actualweight*24/interdialtime)*0.182/idealweight)+0.17

This is an experimental script and results should be treated with due care and consideration.
