Haemodialysis adequacy in children: urea kinetic modelling.
The delivered dialysis dose is quantified by KT/V, the normalized whole body urea clearance. Calculations of KT/V are most often performed in single pool urea kinetic modelling, from the post and predialysis serum values. Although the exact levels of KT/V required is a matter of some debate, a minimum KT/V level of 1.2-1.4 is now thought to be necessary.
