Kt/V
Kt/V
Nephrology A formula for measuring dialysis adequacy, where K = dialyzer clearance–volume of fluid completely cleared of urea in a single treatment–in mL/min; t = time; V = volume of water in a Pt's body. Cf URR.Kt/V
Increases in dialyzer efficiency and the duration of dialysis increase the dialysis dose, as do decreases in the total body volume of urea.
