Dialysis Adequacy

Adult patinets who undergo hemodialysis, their Kt/V should be atleast 1.2 and for peritoneal dialysis the Kt/V should be atleast 1.7, that means they are receiving right amount of dialysis. Pediatric patients who undergo hemodialysis, their Kt/V should be atleast 1.2 and for peritoneal dialysis the Kt/V should be 1.8.
Higher percentages should be better.

Patients who don't have time to get a permanent vascular access before they start hemodialysis treatments may need to use a venous catheter as a temporary access.
