Improving the "second generation Daugirdas equation" to estimate Kt/V on the once-weekly haemodialysis schedule.

CONCLUSION: A linear relationship was found between GFAC and Kru/V in patients on the 1HD/wk schedule. Such a relationship is able to improve the "second generation Daugirdas equation" for an accurate estimate of the single pool Kt/V in this setting. However, a simple replacement in the D2 equation of 0.008 with the mean observed GFAC (0.0035) could suffice in the clinical practice. PMID: 33515379 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
