How is BSA used?:

BSA has the following uses:

1. It determines the dose of chemotherapy for a patient.

2. In order to calculate the maintenance doses or to compare the high dose use with the maintenance need, the glucocorticoid dosing is stated in terms of the BSA.

3. For gaining the appreciation of true glomerular filtration rate (GFR), the renal clearance needs to be divided by the BSA, i.e 1.73 m².

4. A modified version of the BSA is the Quetelet index.

5. When we divide the cardiac output by the BSA, the cardiac index is obtained. This indicates an effective cardiac output.

5.  For the hemodynamic parameters, in case of extreme height and weight, it can be seen that BSA is not as reliable as the Body Mass Index.

6. This parameter is used for adjusting the creatinine clearance while making ...
