Adequacy of dialysis in children and adolescents: more than just Kt/V

Paper No results yet Peer reviewed

Key takeaways

This is a review article arguing that judging dialysis in children takes more than one number. That number, Kt/V, measures how much waste a session clears from the blood. The authors say growth, nutrition, blood pressure and quality of life matter too. It is an opinion and review piece, so there are no new study results.
