LOINC long common name : Kt/V.Peritoneal Dialysis;
LOINC description : 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.;
