2. Dialysis adequacy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialysis_adequacy

   In nephrology, dialysis adequacy is the measurement of renal dialysis for the purpose of determining dialysis treatment regime and to better understand the pathophysiology of renal dialysis. [1] It is an area of considerable controversy in nephrology .

3. Kt/V - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kt/V

   It was developed by Frank Gotch and John Sargent as a way for measuring the dose of dialysis when they analyzed the data from the National Cooperative Dialysis Study. [2] In hemodialysis the US National Kidney Foundation Kt / V target is ≥ 1.3, so that one can be sure that the delivered dose is at least 1.2. [ 3 ]

4. Urea reduction ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urea_reduction_ratio

   In the standard 3x/week hemodialysis schedule a URR of 65% is considered the minimum acceptable dose, corresponding to a minimum Kt/V of 1.2 [3] When dialysis is given more frequently than three times a week, the minimum acceptable URR is lower; because more dialysis treatments are given over the week, the dose of dialysis for each treatment ...

5. Standardized Kt/V - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standardized_Kt/V

   Can be used to compare any dialysis schedule (i.e. nocturnal home hemodialysis vs. daily hemodialysis vs. conventional hemodialysis) Applicable to peritoneal dialysis. Can be applied to patients with residual renal function; it is possible to demonstrate that C o is a function of the residual kidney function and the "cleaning" provided by dialysis.

7. Hemodialysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodialysis

   Hemodialysis is the choice of renal replacement therapy for patients who need dialysis acutely, and for many patients as maintenance therapy. It provides excellent, rapid clearance of solutes. [2] A nephrologist (a medical kidney specialist) decides when hemodialysis is needed and the various parameters for a dialysis treatment. These include ...

8. Kidney dialysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_dialysis

   Schematic of semipermeable membrane during hemodialysis, where blood is red, dialysing fluid is blue, and the membrane is yellow. Kidney dialysis (from Greek διάλυσις, dialysis, 'dissolution'; from διά, dia, 'through', and λύσις, lysis, 'loosening or splitting') is the process of removing excess water, solutes, and toxins from the blood in people whose kidneys can no longer ...

9. Vitamin and mineral management for dialysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_and_mineral...

   Vitamin and mineral management for dialysis patients is a required treatment for people undergoing dialysis because during end-stage kidney disease and dialysis the kidneys are functioning at less than 15% of normal levels. [1] As a consequence, certain vitamin and mineral restrictions and supplementations are needed. [2]
