title: [Quantification of treatment time in the high-efficiency dialysis method].
abstract: Precise quantification of treatment time is allowed by using the urea kinetic models for dialytic therapy prescription: the dialytic dose may be expressed by the KT/V ratio, the nutritional status by PCR. Due to dialysis disequilibrium urea extraction was significantly lower in high efficiency dialysis than in traditional schedules, suggesting to increase the KT/V value when treatment time is reduced. The comparison of KT/V and PCR values obtained by the Gotch model (single pool variable volume) with the results derived by the diagram of Keshaviah has shown significant correlation for both, confirming the usefulness of this simplified model in clinical practice.
