Featured Kidney Health Calculators

1. GFR Calculator

What it does:
Estimates your Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), a key indicator of kidney function. A lower GFR may suggest impaired kidney function, helping you detect potential issues early.

How to use it:

• Enter your Age, Gender, Serum Creatinine (mg/dL), and Race.
• The calculator uses these inputs to estimate your GFR, classifying your kidney function (normal, mild, moderate, or severe reduction).

Why it matters:
Early detection of declining GFR can prompt timely medical intervention, preventing further kidney damage.

2. Protein Intake Calculator

What it does:
Calculates your ideal daily protein intake based on kidney health, weight, and activity level. Proper protein management is crucial for those with kidney concerns.

How to use it:

• Input your Weight (kg), Kidney Status (Healthy/At Risk/Impaired), and Activity Level (Sedentary/Active/Very Active).
• The tool provides a personalized protein recommendation to support kidney function without overloading them.

Why it matters:
Too much protein can strain kidneys, while too little may lead to malnutrition—this calculator ensures balance.

3. Daily Water Intake Calculator

What it does:
Determines your optimal daily water consumption based on weight, activity, climate, and kidney function. Staying hydrated is key to preventing kidney stones and supporting filtration.

How to use it:

• Enter Weight (kg), Activity Level (Low/Moderate/High), Climate (Temperate/Hot), and Kidney Function status.
• Get a customized water intake goal to maintain hydration without overburdening your kidneys.

Why it matters:
Proper hydration flushes toxins, reduces stone risk, and supports overall kidney efficiency.

4. Kidney Stone Risk Calculator

What it does:
Assesses your risk factors for developing kidney stones, one of the most painful urinary conditions.

How to use it:

• Provide details like Age, Gender, Personal/Family History of Stones, Daily Water Intake, and Diet (High-Sodium/High-Oxalate/Balanced).
• The calculator evaluates your risk level (Low/Medium/High) and suggests preventive measures.

Why it matters:
Knowing your risk helps you adjust diet and hydration to avoid painful stones.

5. Kidney Disease Stage Calculator

What it does:
Estimates your Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) stage based on GFR and proteinuria levels, helping you understand disease progression.

How to use it:

• Input your GFR (mL/min/1.73m²) and Proteinuria Level (None/Normal/High).
• The tool classifies your CKD stage (1-5) and offers insights into next steps.

Why it matters:
Early staging allows for better treatment planning and lifestyle adjustments to slow disease progression.

Featured Kidney Health Trackers

1. Urine Output Tracker

What it does:
Monitors your daily urine volume and color, key indicators of hydration and kidney efficiency. Abnormal output can signal dehydration or kidney issues.

How to use it:

• Log the Date, Time of Day (Morning/Afternoon/Evening), Volume (mL), and Urine Color (Pale Yellow to Dark Amber).
• Track trends over time to spot irregularities (e.g., too little output may suggest dehydration).

---

2. Protein Intake Tracker

What it does:
Records your daily protein consumption, ensuring you meet (but don’t exceed) recommendations for your kidney health status.

How to use it:

• Enter the Date, Food Item (e.g., Chicken Breast), Amount (grams), Protein Content (g), and Meal Time (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner).
• The tracker tallies your daily total and compares it to your personalized goal (from the Protein Intake Calculator).

How the Urine Color Chart Works

What It Does:

• Compares your urine color to a standardized scale (from Pale Yellow to Dark Brown).
• Provides real-time feedback on whether you’re properly hydrated, dehydrated, or need medical attention.

How to Use It:

1. Check your urine color in natural light.
2. Match it to the chart’s color spectrum (e.g., "1-Pale Yellow" = ideal hydration).
3. Get an instant interpretation (e.g., "Drink more water" or "Severe dehydration—seek help").
