... not guarantee a good outcome. Urea production as modified by diet and other factors must also be included in a complete description of dialysis quantity and adequacy. The expression ‘Kt/V’ is a measure of hemodialysis that includes both urea removal and urea generation and is easy to measure from predialysis...

... (Rho = 0.544, p = 0.0419) and indirectly to Kt/V (Rho = 0.703, p = 0.0086). Our data represent the first evidence of the relation between IL-18 serum levels and HD. In the light of our results, we think that the unbalanced T helper differentiation may depend, at least in part, on an abnormality...

...Roy G. Marcus; Edith Cohl; Jaime Uribarri The nutritional status is a strong predictor of outcome in hemodialysis patients. Adequate delivery of dialysis is necessary for hemodialysis patients to maintain their protein nutrition. In general, a single-pool Kt/V of 1.2 has been considered adequate...

.../min (p < 0.0001). The Kt/V was analyzed in 49 of 84 patients; the OP Kt/V was 20% greater than the H Kt/V: 1.38 ± 0.2 vs. 1.11 ± 0.1 (p < 0.0001). A further breakdown of H Kt/V according to access and membrane types showed that patients with functional grafts/fistula had a higher Kt/V than those...
