A novel method to rapidly calculate the urea clearance index and urea reduction rate based on parameters obtained during hemodialysis

摘要

The efficacy of hemodialysis (HD) is closely associated with patient survival time and quality of life. The classical method (CLM) to calculate the urea clearance index (Kt/V) and urea reduction rate (URR) requires multiple blood tests. A novel method that may be used as a noninvasive alternative to CLM is required.
