Kt/V Residual

  • Kt/V Residual calculated when Residual Urea Clearance ordered together with Kt/V Natural Log or Kt/V Standard; assesses total adequacy and is included on a patient report up to 90 days.

  • Requires draw information: 24-hr urine collection time, urine volume, dry weight, height

FORMAL UREA KINETIC MODELING (UKM)

Formal Kinetic Modeling is also available in LabCheck for hemodialysis patients dialyzing 2-3 times per week. Per KDOQI, formal kinetic modeling provides a quantitative method for developing a treatment prescription for a specific patient. Formal UKM can be used to calculate the exact treatment time required to deliver a particular hemodialysis dose at specified blood and dialysate flows with a particular dialyzer.
