Does OneChoice adjust antibiotics for weight, kidney function, or liver function?

Modified on Wed, Sep 2 at 11:09 AM

The original OneChoice Report uses the patient information sent to Arkstone. Do not assume it includes current weight, creatinine clearance, eGFR, dialysis status, or hepatic function unless that information is shown.

Can OneChoice Plus help with these factors?

Yes. LiveFactor lets you enter renal and hepatic information while reviewing the report. The renal tool can estimate creatinine clearance and eGFR from patient-specific inputs, and OneChoice Plus provides drug-specific renal and hepatic dosing considerations. Weight is included when it is needed for a calculation or dosing review.

Does this automatically update the prescription?

No. These tools provide clinical context, but they do not edit the source lab result or save information to the patient's medical record. They also do not replace patient-specific prescribing.

Before choosing a dose, confirm the patient's current kidney and liver function, dialysis modality, weight, medication list, and other relevant factors. For more detail, see How is antibiotic dosing determined?
