Update to our supersaturation and kidney stone risk assessment tool:

We have added calcium to citrate ratios to the result section providing even greater risk assessment tools to the kit. Thanks very much to Vladimir Belostotsky for the idea!

Sulfate model added....enjoy!

UKidney @ukidney.bsky.social · May 13

No problem. I am also going to build a model for sulfate specifically so you can see what the impact would be of different levels. This will probably be quite useful especially if people are estimating. Will let you know when it’s done

UKidney @ukidney.bsky.social · May 12

It’s not widely available. You can estimate with the suggested value in the calculator. It doesn’t affect the readings too extremely.

UKidney @ukidney.bsky.social · May 12

Oh wow! Glad you like it. There really wasn’t anything like it online. Not that very many people need this but when you do there isn’t much out there. Working with the original Equil2 in R is also a bit tricky.
