Urea kinetic analysis and clinical outcome on CAPD. A five year longitudinal study.
The present study, along with some recent studies, suggests that there is an organic link between the amount of dialysis a patient receives and his/her nutritional status. The latter, as reflected by serum albumin, is predictive of survival on CAPD. It is clear, therefore, that urea kinetic analysis is a powerful tool for prescribing and monitoring therapy in CAPD patients.
