Appendix 11<br />

Method of measurement of delivered dose of <strong>haemodialysis</strong><br />

The delivered dose of <strong>haemodialysis</strong> in adult and paediatric patients should be measured using<br />

formal urea kinetic modelling, employing the single-pool, variable volume model. Other methods<br />

include URR (urea reduction ratio), natural log Kt/V and the Daugirdas second-generation<br />

formula<br />

Formal urea kinetic modelling provides a quantitative method for developing a treatment for<br />

<br />

to compute Kt/V using formal UKM.<br />

Various websites offer free formula for calculation of Kt/V:<br />

Kt/V natural logarithm formula<br />

Kt/V = -Ln(R - 0.008 × t)+(4 - 3.5 ×R) ×UF/W<br />
