[ESRD];
LOINC description : Indicates whether the standard process of assessing Residual Renal Function was performed
when calculating the Weekly Kt/V. K (clearance) multiplied by t (time) is a volume
(since mL/min x min mL, or L/hr x hr L), and (K x t) can be thought of as the
mL or L of fluid (blood in this case) cleared of urea (or any other solute) during
the course of a single treatment. V also is a volume, expressed in mL or L. So the
ratio of K x t / V is a so-called dimensionless ratio and can be thought of as a multiple
of the volume of plasma cleared of urea divided by the distribution volume of urea.
When Kt/V 1.0, a volume of blood equal to the distribution volume of urea has been
completely cleared of urea.;
