Adequacy of haemodialysis.
Inadequate dialysis is easier to define and recognise than adequate dialysis. Defining inadequate dialysis is thus the first step and allows the establishment of a minimum acceptable dose of dialysis that is compatible with short-term well-being and the absence of uraemic symptoms. An optimal dialysis dose is harder to define but should include such factors as the patient's clinical symptomology, nutritional status and achievement of a fully active, rehabilitated life.
