💡 Principle: Total clearance = Dialysis clearance + Residual kidney function (KRU). Target total clearance adjusts based on residual function.
📖 Understanding the Results
Key Metrics:
- stdKt/V - Standard Kt/V per week. Target: 2.3 for anuric patients.
- EKR - Equivalent Renal Clearance (mL/min). Higher is better.
- KRU - Residual kidney urea clearance. Higher = more residual function.
- Total stdKt/V - Combined dialysis + residual clearance.
Interpretation Guidelines:
- ● Adequate: Total stdKt/V ≥ target
- ● Borderline: Total stdKt/V within 10% of target
- ● Inadequate: Total stdKt/V < target
- ● Incremental: Consider reducing frequency/duration if KRU ≥ 3 mL/min and stable
