LOINC description : Indicates the Single Pool Kt/V value for Hemodialysis by Urea Kinetic 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.;
