<i>Kt/V</i>: achievement, predictors and relationship to mortality in hemodialysis patients in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries: results from DOPPS (2012–18)

Abstract

Relatively large proportions of GCC HD patients have low <i>Kt/V</i>. Increasing BFR to ≥350 mL/min and TT to ≥4 h thrice weekly will reduce low <i>Kt/V</i> prevalence and may improve survival in GCC HD patients-particularly among women.
