What it computes
Compute expected sodium in hyperglycemia using Katz 1.6 or Hillier 2.4. The formula argument is required.
When to use
When an agent must not apply a Katz or Hillier factor silently. Callers must choose formula=katz or formula=hillier.
When not to use
- Not a treatment recommendation and not a diagnosis of hyponatremia.
- formula is required. magent does not pick Katz or Hillier.
- Does not recommend fluid or insulin therapy. Arithmetic only for the chosen published factor.
Formula
corrected_na_mmol_l = sodium_mmol_l + 1.6 * (glucose_mg_dl - 100) / 100
Citation
- Title

Worked example
Na 125, glucose 400, Katz
Given:
formula=katzglucose_mg_dl=400sodium_mmol_l=125
- excess = (400 - 100) / 100 = 3.0
- corrected Na = 125 + 1.6 * 3.0 = 129.8 mmol/L

400 before any quote or charge.

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
sodium_mmol_l |
number | required | Measured serum sodium in mmol/L (110-160). |
glucose_mg_dl |
number | optional | Plasma glucose in mg/dL (50-1000). Provide this or glucose_mmol_l. |
glucose_mmol_l |
number | optional | Plasma glucose in mmol/L (2.8-55.5). Converted as mg/dL = mmol/L * 18.015. |
formula |
string | required · katz, hillier | Correction factor. Required; magent does not pick one silently. |
Bulk (POST)
POST the same path with a JSON items array. Price is n times the GET unit. Invalid items return HTTP 400 before settlement.
- 1 to 25 items. Each item uses the same keys as the GET query parameters.
- The first invalid item fails the whole request (index in the 400 JSON). You are not charged.
- HTTP 200 is {count, path, items}. Each items[i] is the GET 200 body for that row.
- Catalog misses (empty matches, found=false) stay paid 200s inside that slot.
- x402 resource URL is this path plus n and body_sha256. Browsers that prefer text/html get the same paywall as GET; Pay retries POST with the same items.
Example request (fixture)
{
"items": [
{
"formula": "katz",
"glucose_mg_dl": "400",
"sodium_mmol_l": "125"
},
{
"formula": "katz",
"glucose_mg_dl": "400",
"sodium_mmol_l": "125"
}
]
}
Opens a two-item fixture on the API host. Unpaid browsers get the same MetaMask paywall as GET; Pay retries POST with those items.

Payment
Required query parameters must be present and valid. Invalid params return HTTP 400 JSON before settlement. magent does not charge. Fix the params, then request a new 402 quote for that complete URL. Catalog misses (empty matches, found=false) are valid paid 200s. Unpaid valid requests return HTTP 402 with a base64
PAYMENT-REQUIRED
header. Retry the same URL with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. Settlement completes before the
tool runs. Full handshake and shared payment errors: Payments.
Guarantees
- Invalid query parameters return HTTP 400 before settlement. You are not charged.
- Settlement finishes before the tool executes. Uncertain settlement fails closed (HTTP 503).
- Execution is timeout-bounded and concurrency-capped.
- Calculator inputs are not persisted. Request logs store path without query.
