This tool helps you calculate the appropriate dosage of medicine for Carithers treatment based on your input.
Carithers Dosage Calculator
This Carithers Dosage Calculator is designed to help you determine the dosage based on various health parameters. Fill in the patient’s age, bilirubin level, albumin level, prothrombin time, ascites grade, and encephalopathy grade to get the result.
How to Use
- Enter the patient’s age in years.
- Enter the bilirubin level in mg/dL.
- Enter the albumin level in g/dL.
- Enter the prothrombin time in seconds.
- Enter the ascites grade from 0 to 3.
- Enter the encephalopathy grade from 0 to 3.
- Click the ‘Calculate’ button to see the result.
Calculation Method
The Carithers score is calculated using the following formula:
Score = (Age * 0.25) + (Bilirubin * 0.5) + (Albumin * -0.3) + (Prothrombin Time * 0.3) + (Ascites * 2) + (Encephalopathy * 3)
