A simple tool to calculate the Nitogen balance, which is the difference between Nitrogen intake (protein intake) and the Nitrogen elimination in urine (Urea).

- Step 1 : enter the values of Protein intakes (protein content in alimentation, usualy explicitely given on nutrition solution bag). Enter the value of urinary urea (obtained with urinary analysis).
- Step 2 : click "Calculate" button.

A slightly positive balance should be targeted during prescription / adjustment of a nutrition solution.
