The goal of equil2 is to calculate urinary saturation with the EQUIL2 algorithm.
This program is intended for research use, only. The code within is translated from EQUIL2 Visual Basic code based on Werness, et al 1985 to R (see reference below). The Visual Basic code was kindly provided by Dr. John Lieske of the Mayo Clinic.
Werness PG, Brown CM, Smith LH, Finlayson B. Equil2: A Basic Computer Program for the Calculation of Urinary Saturation. Journal of Urology. 1985;134(6):1242-1244. doi:10.1016/S0022-5347(17)47703-2
You can install the development version of equil2 like so:
::install_github("billdenney/equil2") remotes
This is a basic example which shows you how to calculate supersaturation:
library(equil2)
#> units added to enable unit conversion
equil2(
sodium_mEq_L=units::set_units(45, "mmol_sodium/L"),
potassium_mEq_L=units::set_units(55, "mmol_potassium/L"),
calcium_mg_dL=units::set_units(15, "mg_calcium/dL"),
magnesium_mg_dL=units::set_units(15, "mg_magnesium/dL"),
ammonia_mEq_L=units::set_units(10, "ug_ammonia/dL"),
chloride_mEq_L=units::set_units(75, "mmol_chloride/L"),
phosphate_mg_dL=units::set_units(100, "mg_phosphate/dL"),
sulfate_mg_dL=units::set_units(20, "mEq_sulfate/L"),
oxalate_mg_dL=units::set_units(10, "mg_oxalate/L"),
citrate_mg_dL=units::set_units(400, "mg_citrate/L"),
pH=5.5,
urate_mg_dL=units::set_units(50, "mg_urate/dL")
