# Renal Function, Dialysis, and Dose-Model Checks

Compare kidney-function formulas, dialysis adequacy metrics, and renal medication math in an educational workflow that avoids patient-specific dosing or diagnosis.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can this workflow recommend a real medication dose?

No. It is limited to education, simulation, and result QA. Real dosing requires the full patient record, current labs, indication, drug label, dialysis details, monitoring plan, interactions, and qualified clinical review.

### Why include Cockcroft-Gault, CKD-EPI, MDRD, and Schwartz together?

They answer related but different teaching questions. Cockcroft-Gault is often discussed in dosing tables, CKD-EPI and MDRD compare adult eGFR estimates, and Schwartz is for pediatric eGFR examples.

### Are URR and Kt/V kidney-function estimates?

No. They are dialysis adequacy measures based on urea removal and treatment assumptions, so they should be reviewed separately from filtration equations.

### Why keep vancomycin and renal-dose tools in the same workflow?

They help reviewers check whether a simulated medication example used renal function and clearance assumptions consistently, but they must not be used here to choose a patient's therapy.
