Sodium Deficit & Correction Rate (ODS-Safe)
Calculate the total body sodium deficit and safe correction rate to prevent ODS. Na⁺ deficit = TBW × (Target − Measured). Default 8 mmol/L/24h for chronic; 12 mmol/L/24h for acute symptomatic. 3% NaCl volume estimated. Derived from Adrogué NEJM 2000, Verbalis 2013, Spasovski 2014, Sterns 2018, and MDCalc. Not medical advice.
Quick start
Call this tool from your code in three languages.
curl -X POST 'https://api.elysiatools.com/en/api/tools/sodium-deficit-calculator' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"sodiumCurrent":120,"sodiumTarget":128,"weight":60,"sex":"male","ageGroup":"adult","correctionRate":"8","decimalPlaces":1}'API reference
Send a POST request with your inputs as JSON. File parameters require a separate upload first.
Endpoint
POST https://api.elysiatools.com/en/api/tools/sodium-deficit-calculatorParameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| sodiumCurrent | number | Yes | Measured serum sodium (mmol/L). |
| sodiumTarget | number | Yes | Target serum sodium (mmol/L). For chronic hyponatremia the first-24h target should be current + 4–8, not above 135. |
| weight | number | Yes | Patient body weight (kg). |
| sex | select | Yes | — |
| ageGroup | select | Yes |
