Adjusts measured serum sodium for the dilutional effect of hyperglycaemia (e.g. in DKA).
Written for clinicians. If you're a parent or patient, don't act on these numbers — talk to your child's doctor.

Adjusts measured serum sodium for the dilutional effect of hyperglycaemia (e.g. in DKA).
Measured sodium (mEq/L), Glucose (mg/dL).
A guide for interpreting Na in hyperglycaemia, not a replacement for trending Na as glucose normalises.
Serum anion gap with optional albumin correction, delta gap and delta ratio.
Albumin-corrected serum calcium using the Payne correction (SI units).
Daily maintenance fluid requirement using the Holliday-Segar method.
Estimates safe sodium-correction rate and fluid replacement for a child with hyponatremia (Na < 135).
Estimates free-water deficit and fluid replacement for a child with hypernatremia (Na > 145).
Estimates the free-water deficit in a hypernatraemic child, to guide the volume needed to return sodium to 140 mEq/L.
