FORMULA

  • Plasma Urea in USA is measured in Plasma Water. In Europe in Whole Plasma - correction factor = 1.07
  • RKC=V*U urea/Purea
  • RKCcc/min=RKC/1440
  • RKCcorrected=RKC*1.73/BSA;
  • RKCL/min=RKC/1000
  • RKCL/wk=RKCmin/cc*10080
  • Cdialysate=Durea*Vdialysate/Purea)*1.73/BSA
  • Kt/Vwk=(RKC+Cdialysate)/Vanthropometric
  • Alternatively Kt/Vweek=[(RKCuncorrected+Cdialysate - uncorrected)/V]*1.73/BSA
    • 10080=minutes/week =24 hours*7 days*60 min
    • 1440=minutes/24 hours
    • C=Clearance
    • P=Ureaplasma urea nitrogen
    • RKC = residual kidney function
    • D=dialysate
    • V = volume
    • U = urine
