[Guideline for the hemodialytic treatment of chronic uremia].
In this review we have summarized the guidelines on hemodialysis prescription and dose in order to attempt of simplify an issue often difficult to understand for the majority of physicians. In brief, we start from the results of National Cooperative Dialysis Study and then we describe the Urea Kinetic Model, the KT/V and the Protein Catabolic Rate (PCR). Simplified formulas to obtain KT/V and PCR are also reported. At the end, the modalities related to postdialytic blood samples and connected problems are described.
