Quantification of Hemodialysis Dose: What Kt/V to Choose?

Abstract

The Kt/V index is different depending on the method used for its evaluation. The three methods can be used for quantification of hemodialysis with a better agreement between Kt/VDau and Kt/VBCM. In this study, Kt/VOCM results underestimate hemodialysis efficiency. This difference has to be considered when applying quantification of hemodialysis to clinical practice.
