K & T covariate with V in hemodialysis. As K increases and T decreases, V also decreases. 1991

Department of Medicine, Karolinska Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden.

The authors varied urea clearance (K), dialysis time (T), and ultrafiltration (UF) in 294 hemodialyses on 23 patients and studied changes in urea space (V), determined by total dialysate urea removal. As K increased and UF and T decreased, V also decreased. K, T, and V, thus, covariate and dialysis adequacy, as studied by KT/V is not a simple function of three independent variables. Patients dialyzed quickly with little UF will need a higher KT/V than those dialyzed slowly with much UF.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
