  2. Kt/V - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kt/V

    Some investigators have proposed dosing based on surface area (S) instead of V, but clinicians usually measure the URR and then calculate Kt/V. One can "adjust" the Kt/V, to calculate a "surface-area-normalized" or "SAN"-Kt/V as well as a "SAN"-standard Kt/V. This puts a wrapper around Kt/V and normalizes it to body surface area. [8]

  3. Standardized Kt/V - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standardized_Kt/V

    Standardized Kt/V, also std Kt/V, is a way of measuring dialysis adequacy. It was developed by Frank Gotch and is used in the United States to measure dialysis. Despite the name, it is quite different from Kt/V. In theory, both peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis can be quantified with std Kt/V.

  5. Urea reduction ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urea_reduction_ratio

    A more accurate relationship between URR and Kt/V can be derived by single-pool, variable volume urea kinetic modeling. A simplified estimating equation also can be used. [ 2 ] This gives results that are quite similar to formal urea modeling as long as dialysis treatments of 2–6 hours in duration are given, and Kt/V is between 0.7 and 2.0.

  7. Knudsen number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knudsen_number

    The Knudsen number is a dimensionless number defined as =, where = mean free path [L 1], = representative physical length scale [L 1].. The representative length scale considered, , may correspond to various physical traits of a system, but most commonly relates to a gap length over which thermal transport or mass transport occurs through a gas phase.

  8. Frank Gotch (physician) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Gotch_(physician)

    Frank A. Gotch (August 27, 1926 – February 18, 2017) was an American physician known for his work in renal dialysis adequacy, specifically the development of Kt/V and standardized Kt/V. He was an associate professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Electronics_Type...

    The Joint Electronics Type Designation System (JETDS), which was previously known as the Joint Army-Navy Nomenclature System (AN System. JAN) and the Joint Communications-Electronics Nomenclature System, is a method developed by the U.S. War Department during World War II for assigning an unclassified designator to electronic equipment.
