Comparison of the Watson formula and bioimpedance spectroscopy for measuring body volume and calculating kt/V in patients with peritoneal dialysis

Ren Fail. 2024 Dec;46(1):2313360. doi: 10.1080/0886022X.2024.2313360. Epub 2024 Feb 12.ABSTRACTThere were significant differences between Vwat and Vbis and between Kt/Vwat and Kt/Vbis. Kt/Vwat may underestimate small-solute dialysis adequacy in most cases. Kt/Vbis instead of Kt/Vwat could be accounted for in creating individualized dialysis prescriptions if the patient has no obvious clinical symptoms.PMID:38345032 | PMC:PMC10863529 | DOI:10.1080/0886022X.2024.2313360
