..., 18 ]. Now the evidence of incremental dialysis on RRF/UO preservation remains to be confirmed. In the study by Obi et al. [ 17 ], the dialysis dose target estimated from standard Kt/V (2.1 per week) was met in 90% of the patients on thrice-weekly HD and twice-weekly HD with urea clearance...

...: A critical review of RRT quantification in AKI is provided. Conclusion: We propose an adaptation of a maintenance dialysis parameter (standard Kt/V) as a benchmark to supplement effluent-based dosing of CRRT.

... models Protein catabolic rate Standard Kt/V Urea clearance The therapeutic effect of dialysis is based mainly on removing water and solutes accumulating in renal insufficiency. Urea is used as a marker; concentrations of many other, possibly more toxic substances are not routinely measured...

... of a replacement fluid volume of 11.7 ± 1.9 l/session and net fluid loss of 1.4 ± 0.1 l/session. Conversion from CHD to DHF resulted in marked reduction in treatment time (3.8 vs. 2 h/session, p < 0.001) and net fluid loss (2.6 vs. 1.4 l/session, p < 0.001). Calculated weekly standard Kt/V during the last...
