Routine Kt/V and Normalized Protein Nitrogen Appearance Rate Determined From Conductivity Access Clearance With Infrequent Postdialysis Serum Urea Nitrogen Measurements
Conventional monitoring of hemodialysis dose is implemented using urea kinetic modeling based on single-pool Kt/V, which requires both pre- and postdialysis serum urea nitrogen (SUN) measurements. We compared this conventional approach to one in which Kt/V is calculated using conductivity clearance, thereby reducing the need for regular postdialysis SUN measurements.
