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

## 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=1.73, creatinine_mg_dl=1.0, egfr_ml_min_1_73m2=80, urine_creatinine_mg_dl=25, urine_sodium_mmol_l=90`

1. urine_output_ml = 80 * (1.73/1.73) * (1.0/25) * 60 * 3.25 = 624.0
2. na_output_mmol = 624.0 * (90/1000) = 56.16 → 56.2 at 1 decimal
3. 50 ≤ 56.2 < 100 → poor_response false, suboptimal_response true, excellent_response false

## Parameters

- `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.

Method: `POST /api/calc/nrpe`
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": [
    {
      "bsa_m2": "1.73",
      "creatinine_mg_dl": "1.0",
      "egfr_ml_min_1_73m2": "80",

## 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.
