Adjusted Body Weight Calculator is a planned calculator in the health section of Super Calculator, covering energy and body composition.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: sex, height (cm), actual weight (kg) and correction factor.
Outputs: ideal body weight (kg) and adjusted body weight (kg).
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: AdjBW = IBW + correction factor * (actual body weight - IBW), with the correction factor conventionally 0.4 for most drugs and 0.3 for aminoglycosides in some protocols. Used when actual weight overestimates the volume of distribution.
