Abstract
In thirty anuric patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis the KT/V values obtained with the formula: KT/V=(Co-Ct.div.[(Co+Ct)/2] (A), were compared with the values obtained with the following two formulae: KT/V=KT/60%BW (B) and KT/V=ln(Co/Ct) (C). The results given by formulae B and C differed from those with formula A respectively by 12.81 .+-. 11.98% and 10.38 .+-. 3.64%. For routine determination of KT/V we suggest the use of formula A and C as a means of establishing rapidly, in one step, whether the hemodialytic treatment examined is adequate.Keywords
