calc_lbw

Get an estimate of lean body weight (LBW, in kg) based on weight, height, and sex.

Provides equations commonly used in clinical
pharmacokinetics and clinical pharmacology, such as equations
for dose individualization, compartmental pharmacokinetics,
drug exposure, anthropomorphic calculations, clinical
chemistry, and conversion of common clinical parameters. Where
possible and relevant, it provides multiple published and
peer-reviewed equations within the respective R function.
