LOINC long common name : Kt/V.Peritoneal Dialysis [Watson];
LOINC description : Indicates the Kt/V urea (dialysate and urine clearance) at the time the Kt/V PD adequacy
measurement was performed by Watson Method. 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.;
