9.4 Check Kt/V
The dialysis machine can calculate Kt/V as a single measurement or at intervals.
If Kt/V measurement is required, distribution volume has to be set before the
measurement check takes place. The distribution volume is patient-related (based on
the patient's dry weight) and has to be properly estimated and set by the operator in
order to obtain a correct Kt/V value.
Distribution volume is the urea distribution volume in litres (water in the body),
estimated for the individual patient, and based on the patient’s dry weight. The
estimation is based on certain formulae used for this purpose, chosen by the
prescribing physician responsible for the patient. The distribution volume has to be set
by the machine operator in order for a correct Kt/V value to be obtained.
NOTE!
To get a reliable Kt/V value, it is very important that the dialysis machine calculates
with an accurate distribution volume for the patient. Therefore fill in the patient
information with care in Distribution volume.
