| [ Summary ] | Spreadsheet software is very useful because of its multiple functions. The software not only makes tables, but also calculates, and supports our thinking power with tables and graphs, and also has a simple database function. Furthermore, by using its macro functions, we can easily select orders from the menu and can operate a computer in dialogue. In addition, the software enables us to develop in-house application software. In our clinic, spreadsheet software program is used for various topics concerning dialysis therapy, such as, planning prescriptions based on blood chemistry data, alterations of the patient's dry weight based on CTR, an estimation of proper erythropoietin dosage by the graph of Ht and erythropoietin, a prevention of the complications with the management of examination dates, management of patient's fundamental data and making letters of introduction. Some application software including a computer program for Urea Kinetic Modeling, have been developed using spreadsheet software. |
