Correlation between Dt/V derived from ionic dialysance and blood-driven Kt/V of urea in African-American hemodialysis patients, based on body weight and ultrafiltration volume

Clinical Kidney Journal Feb 06, 2018

Gebregeorgis W, et al. - The Dt/V obtained by using ionic dialysance (D) as a surrogate for urea clearance (K) is a well-validated adjunct measure of hemodialysis adequacy, with a variable level of correlation with urea-based Kt/V. Herein, researchers focused on this correlation based on patients’ body size and ultrafiltration (UF) volume during the dialysis session. Findings revealed an influence of body size and UF volume on the moderate degree of correlation observed between Dt/V and Kt/V in African-American hemodialysis patients. In addition, a Dt/V of >1.2 strongly predicted adequate dialysis as defined by Kt/V of >1.2.
