This calculator works out how much albumin to give after a large-volume paracentesis and builds the full Epic order to match. You enter the liters removed; it returns the dose, rounds it to whole 25 g bottles, works out the volume and rate, and tells you whether albumin is even indicated.

The math is simple, 8 grams per liter removed, but the order around it is fiddly: rounding to bottles, a volume that changes with the product, a rate that has to match the duration, and an Epic order set with dozens of fields for what is really a single one-time dose. The tool keeps those small decisions in one place so they aren't carried in your head at the bedside.

A few things it does:

• Doses at 8 g per liter removed, rounded to whole 25 g bottles, with the raw and rounded amounts shown side by side
• Flags when albumin isn't needed (5 L or less), when it's indicated regardless of volume (ACLF), and when a session goes past 8 L
• Links volume, rate, and duration so setting any one fills in the rest, for both 25% and 5% albumin
• Builds a complete, copyable Epic order with frequency preset to Once
• Installs to a home screen, works offline, and has light and dark mode

It's a single HTML file with vanilla JavaScript and Tailwind CSS, shipped as a progressive web app on Netlify. It's a clinical decision support tool, meant to back up clinical judgment, not replace it.
