Input Parameters

Enter details for calculation.

HtTKV Score

457.1 mL/m
Mayo Class 1C
๐Ÿ’ก

Expert Tip

HtTKV is used in ADPKD to predict rates of eGFR decline and identify rapid progressors eligible for Tolvaptan therapy.

Calculation Methodology & Details

๐Ÿ“

Formula

HtTKV = TKV / Height

Normalizes total kidney volume to height to account for body size differences.

โ„น๏ธ About this Calculation

This nephrology and urology clinical calculator evaluates renal function, electrolyte/acid-base equilibrium, urinary excretion kinetics, and urologic disease risk according to KDIGO and AUA clinical practice guidelines.

Variable Glossary

Input

Renal & Lab Metrics

Serum creatinine, urinary sodium/urea, albumin, PSA levels, or ultrasound kidney dimensions.

Parameter

Diagnostic Indexes

eGFR (CKD-EPI equation), Fractional Excretion of Sodium (FENa %), serum anion gap, and PSA doubling kinetics.

How to Calculate Step-by-Step

1

Step 1

Enter serum electrolytes, creatinine, or urinary excretion lab values.

2

Step 2

Specify patient demographic parameters (age, gender, height/weight).

3

Step 3

View calculated clearance rates, CKD stage classification, or acute kidney injury (AKI) differentiation.

FAQ

How is FENa used to evaluate acute kidney injury (AKI)?
Fractional Excretion of Sodium (FENa) under 1% suggests prerenal azotemia (kidney hypoperfusion), whereas FENa greater than 2% indicates intrinsic acute tubular necrosis (ATN).
Which eGFR equation is recommended by current KDIGO guidelines?
The CKD-EPI (2021) race-free serum creatinine formula is the preferred standard for staging Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD Stages 1 through 5).
Can nephrology tools replace comprehensive medical diagnostics?
No. Renal and urologic calculators assist clinical decision-making. Comprehensive assessment requires complete urinalysis, renal imaging, and evaluation by a board-certified nephrologist or urologist.
