What it computes
Compute the Rao 2021 natriuretic response prediction equation from a spot urine sample ~2 h after IV loop diuretic using caller-assigned eGFR and BSA, serum and urine creatinine, and urine sodium.
When to use
When an agent needs published Rao 2021 predicted Na and urine output and must not invent a diuretic order, CKD-EPI eGFR, or Du Bois BSA.
When not to use
- Not a medical device. Not a diuretic order and not a diagnosis of diuretic resistance.
- magent does not compute eGFR or BSA. The caller supplies egfr_ml_min_1_73m2 (5-200) and bsa_m2 (0.4-3.5). The paper used CKD-EPI and Du Bois; magent does not implement race-based 2009 CKD-EPI.
- The spot urine sample is caller-timed (~2 h after IV loop diuretic in Rao 2021). magent does not time collection or assay labs. 100-150 mmol is unlabeled in the paper.
Formula
na_output_mmol = egfr_ml_min_1_73m2 * (bsa_m2 / 1.73) * (creatinine_mg_dl / urine_creatinine_mg_dl) * 60 * 3.25 * (urine_sodium_mmol_l / 1000); urine_output_ml = egfr_ml_min_1_73m2 * (bsa_m2 / 1.73) * (creatinine_mg_dl / urine_creatinine_mg_dl) * 60 * 3.25

Worked example
eGFR 80, BSA 1.73 m², Scr 1.0, UCr 25, UNa 90
Given:
bsa_m2=1.73creatinine_mg_dl=1.0egfr_ml_min_1_73m2=80urine_creatinine_mg_dl=25urine_sodium_mmol_l=90
- urine_output_ml = 80 * (1.73/1.73) * (1.0/25) * 60 * 3.25 = 624.0
- na_output_mmol = 624.0 * (90/1000) = 56.16 → 56.2 at 1 decimal
- 50 ≤ 56.2 < 100 → poor_response false, suboptimal_response true, excellent_response false

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
egfr_ml_min_1_73m2 |
number | required | Caller-assigned eGFR in mL/min/1.73m² (5-200). magent does not compute CKD-EPI (including race-based 2009 CKD-EPI). |
bsa_m2 |
number | required | Caller-assigned body surface area in m² (0.4-3.5). Paper used Du Bois. magent does not compute BSA. |
creatinine_mg_dl |
number | optional | Serum creatinine in mg/dL (0.1-20). Provide this or creatinine_umol_l, not both. |
creatinine_umol_l |
number | optional | Serum creatinine in µmol/L (9-1768). Converted as mg/dL = µmol/L / 88.42. Provide this or creatinine_mg_dl, not both. |
urine_creatinine_mg_dl |
number | optional | Urine creatinine in mg/dL (1-500). Provide this or urine_creatinine_umol_l, not both. |
urine_creatinine_umol_l |
number | optional | Urine creatinine in µmol/L (88-44210). Converted as mg/dL = µmol/L / 88.42. Provide this or urine_creatinine_mg_dl, not both. |
urine_sodium_mmol_l |
number | required | Spot urine sodium in mmol/L (1-300), ~2 h after IV loop diuretic. |
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.
- 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.

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. Unpaid valid requests return HTTP 402 with a base64
PAYMENT-REQUIRED
header. HTTP 503 is not a new quote: retry the same PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. Full handshake
and shared payment errors: Payments.
Stdio MCP: /docs/mcp.
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.
