What is Kt/V?
Like any other medication or treatment, dialysis also has to be tailored to meet the requirements of the patient. The parameter that helps the doctors find out if the dialysis you are receiving is adequate is Kt/V. It is the ratio of urea clearance (K) multiplied by dialysis time (t) to the volume of water in your body. Kt/V values can be improved by either increasing blood flow rate through the dialyser, which increases urea clearance, or by increasing the duration of dialysis sessions.
