What it computes

Estimate sodium (cation) deficit from weight, sex-specific TBW, and measured serum Na versus a chosen target.

When to use

When an agent needs Adrogué–Madias deficit arithmetic and must not invent TBW or a replacement amount.

When not to use

  • Not a treatment order and not a sodium infusion protocol. The result is an estimate of cation deficit versus a target sodium, not a dosing or correction-rate order.
  • Does not model ongoing losses, SIADH, or the safe rate of correction. Sex-only TBW fractions (0.6 male, 0.5 female); no extra elderly adjustment.

Formula

TBW_L = 0.6 * weight_kg (male) or 0.5 * weight_kg (female); sodium_deficit_mmol = TBW_L * (desired_na_mmol_l - sodium_mmol_l)

Worked example

70 kg male, Na 120 to 140 mmol/L

Given: desired_na_mmol_l=140sex=malesodium_mmol_l=120weight_kg=70

  1. TBW = 0.6 × 70 = 42 L (male fraction from the teaching formula)
  2. deficit = 42 × (140 − 120) = 840 mmol

Expect HTTP 402 and a PAYMENT-REQUIRED header until you retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. Incomplete query params return HTTP 400 before any quote or charge. HTTP 503 after a signature: retry the same PAYMENT-SIGNATURE — that is not a new 402.

curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" "https://api.magentlab.com/api/calc/sodium_deficit?weight_kg=70&sex=male&sodium_mmol_l=120&desired_na_mmol_l=140"

Intended config for @magent/mcp. This is not npm @x402/fetch (a payment fetch wrapper).

Parameters

Name Type Required Description
weight_kg number optional Weight in kilograms. Provide weight_kg or weight_lb.
weight_lb number optional Weight in pounds. Converted as kg = lb * 0.45359237.
sex string required · female, male Sex used for TBW: 0.6 × weight (male) or 0.5 × weight (female).
sodium_mmol_l number required Measured serum sodium in mmol/L. Range 90-135 (hyponatremia).
desired_na_mmol_l number optional Target serum sodium in mmol/L (120-150), must exceed measured Na. Omitted uses 140.

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.

POST /api/calc/sodium_deficit Max 25 unit_amount * n PREVIEW

  • 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": [
    {
      "desired_na_mmol_l": "140",
      "sex": "male",
      "sodium_mmol_l": "120",

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. HTTP 503 is not a new quote: retry the same PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. 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 (paymentFlow upfront). 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.
