Not a medical device. Not a diagnosis, dose, or listing recommendation.

## What it computes

Compute IDMS-traceable 4-variable MDRD eGFR in mL/min/1.73m2 from standardized creatinine, adult age, sex, and caller-assigned Black as used in Levey 2006.

## When to use

When an agent must apply the published IDMS 4-variable MDRD equation rather than invent kidney function, including the Levey 2006 Black coefficient as assigned by the caller. magent does not assign race.

## When not to use

- IDMS-traceable 4-variable MDRD (Levey 2006). Not the 1999 conventional 186 equation. Not CKD-EPI 2021 (egfr).
- black is caller-assigned as used in Levey 2006; magent does not assign race.
- Adults only (age 18-120). Not a pediatric equation.
- Not a treatment or dosing recommendation and not a medical device.

## Formula

```
egfr = 175 * scr_mg_dl ** -1.154 * age ** -0.203 * sex_factor * black_factor; sex_factor = 0.742 if female else 1.0; black_factor = 1.212 if black else 1.0; IDMS-traceable 4-variable MDRD; GFR mL/min/1.73m2; Scr mg/dL
```

## Worked example

### Scr 1.1, age 65, female, black false

Given: `age=65, black=false, creatinine_mg_dl=1.1, sex=female`

1. sex_factor=0.742, black_factor=1.0
2. egfr = 175 * 1.1 ** -1.154 * 65 ** -0.203 * 0.742 * 1.0
3. Round to 1 decimal

## Parameters

- `creatinine_mg_dl` (number, optional): Serum creatinine in mg/dL (0.1-20). Provide this or creatinine_umol_l.
- `creatinine_umol_l` (number, optional): Serum creatinine in µmol/L. Converted as mg/dL = µmol/L / 88.42. IDMS-traceable standardized creatinine as in Levey 2006.
- `age` (integer, required): Age in years (18-120). MDRD is for adults.
- `sex` (string, required): Sex used by the published equation. female applies 0.742; male does not.
- `black` (boolean, required): Caller-assigned Black as used in Levey 2006; magent does not assign race. true applies 1.212.

## Bulk (POST)

POST the same path with a JSON items array. The first item is the GET unit; each additional item is $0.002. Invalid items return HTTP 400 before settlement.

Method: `POST /api/calc/mdrd`
Max items: 25
Price: unit_amount + extra_item_amount * (n - 1) (unit 5000 atomic, extra 2000 atomic)
Status: PREVIEW

- 1 to 25 items. Each item uses the same keys as the GET query parameters.
- POST of 1 item costs the same as GET. Lists longer than 25: chunk into multiple POSTs. Extra items still execute; do not pad dummy rows.
- 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:

```json
{
  "items": [
    {
      "age": "65",
      "black": "false",
      "creatinine_mg_dl": "1.1",
      "sex": "female"
    },
    {
      "age": "65",
      "black": "false",
      "creatinine_mg_dl": "1.1",
      "sex": "female"
    }

## Payment

Unpaid requests return HTTP 402 even if query parameters or POST items are missing or invalid, so CDP and agents can index the path. After a PAYMENT-SIGNATURE, 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.

- GET the tool with Accept: application/json (do not send Accept: text/html unless you want the human paywall).
- HTTP 402 means you have not paid. Decode the base64 PAYMENT-REQUIRED header. HTTP 503 is not a new quote.
- Sign accepts[0] (exact, EIP-3009) with validBefore = now + maxTimeoutSeconds (600 seconds), or accepts[1] (batch-settlement deposit/voucher) on product GET. Ping and POST {items} stay exact. Magent retries transient facilitator 429/5xx before answering.
- Retry the same URL with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE (base64 JSON of accepted and payload). Magent attaches canonical extensions.bazaar on CDP verify/settle; echoing 402 bazaar is optional.
- Success is HTTP 200 JSON plus PAYMENT-RESPONSE. exact settles before the tool. batch-settlement verifies (and deposit-settles) before the tool and commits the charge after HTTP 2xx. HTTP 503: retry the same PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. Mint a new exact nonce only after a new HTTP 402.

- offered `exact` on eip155:8453: Fixed-price USDC on Base. The buyer authorizes the advertised amount (EIP-3009). magent settles before the tool runs (paymentFlow upfront). extra.assetTransferMethod=eip3009 extra.paymentFlow=upfront.
- offered `batch-settlement` on eip155:8453: Payment-channel vouchers claimed later in batches. Exact stays accepts[0]. Same-path POST {items} is still exact. extra.assetTransferMethod=eip3009 extra.paymentFlow=authorization.

- not offered `upto`: Not offered. Usage-based: buyer authorizes a ceiling, seller settles the actual amount after work. Reserved for a future metered tool. Not for current calculators or code search.

Same-path POST {items} is still scheme exact: one EIP-3009 authorization for GET unit plus $0.002 per extra item. That is not x402 batch-settlement (payment channels / vouchers).

## Guarantees

- HTTP 402 is unpaid, including a missing query. After PAYMENT-SIGNATURE, invalid parameters return HTTP 400 before settlement. You are not charged. HTTP 402 never includes the tool JSON.
- exact: settlement finishes before the tool (paymentFlow upfront). batch-settlement: verify/deposit before the tool; chargedCumulativeAmount commits after HTTP 2xx. Uncertain or failed settlement fails closed (HTTP 503). Retry the same PAYMENT-SIGNATURE.
- HTTP 402 is unpaid only. Do not sign a second authorization because of a 503.
- Execution is timeout-bounded and concurrency-capped.
- Calculator inputs are stored encrypted for allowlisted operators (Magent Console). They are not in public logs, SSH lookups, catalog, or rollups. Request logs store path without query.
