What it does

Everything a renal dose check needs, on one screen

Built for ward rounds and pharmacy checks: fast to enter, careful in what it claims.

Every drug on the chart, at once

Add drugs by name, brand or shorthand — each gets its own card with band, dose, cautions and the full label table.

Honest source badges

Know whether an answer is clinician-verified, curated, extracted, label logic or an AI summary.

Dialysis & AKI aware

HD, PD and CRRT change the guidance; an unstable creatinine flags every result.

Your units, your weight

mg/dL or µmol/L. Actual, ideal or adjusted body weight for Cockcroft-Gault.

Share, copy, print

A link that reopens the same check, a text summary for notes, or a one-page PDF.

Installs like an app. Works offline.

Add it to your home screen. Kidney calculations work without signal; light and dark themes follow your device.

How it works

Three steps, about ten seconds

  1. 1

    Enter the patient

    Age, sex, weight and creatinine — or paste one line like 72 M 78 kg SCr 1.4.

  2. 2

    Add drugs

    Type a name, brand or shorthand — piptaz, vanco, doxy. Results appear as you go.

  3. 3

    Read band, dose and source

    Each card shows the renal band, the label dose, cautions, the dose table and the DailyMed link.

Safety first

Built to be honest about uncertainty

  • A label that doesn't mention the kidneys is never shown as "no adjustment".
  • When indication or product changes the dose, the card says which one it assumed.
  • Dialysis and unstable creatinine are called out on every result.
  • Nothing reliable found? It says so — and links the label.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is it free? Do I need an account?

Yes, it's free and there is no sign-up. Nothing you enter is stored on a server; recent checks stay on your device.

Where does the dosing come from?

From FDA drug labels (DailyMed / openFDA). Curated rules are extracted from those labels and can be verified by a clinician; drugs without a rule are looked up in the live label. Every card links its source.

Which equations does it use?

CKD-EPI 2021 (race-free) for eGFR and KDIGO category, and Cockcroft-Gault for creatinine clearance, with a choice of actual, ideal or adjusted body weight.

Can I use it to prescribe?

No. It is an educational decision aid. Always confirm against the official prescribing information, local protocols and a pharmacist.

Does it work offline or on my phone?

Yes. Install it from your browser's menu. Kidney calculations work offline; drug lookups need a connection unless the drug has a curated rule cached.
