Adequacy of hemodialysis

  • Chapter
Replacement of Renal Function by Dialysis

Abstract

No topic in the area of dialysis has received more attention in the past two decades than that of adequacy. Adequacy of dialysis has become synonymous with the measurement of delivered small solute clearances and monitoring of their correlation with subsequent patient outcomes. Of course, ‘adequate dialysis’ should also involve consideration of other parameters that can be influenced by the dialysis prescription. These, among others, include volume status and blood pressure control, nutrition, correction of anemia, and divalent ion metabolism. However, for the purposes of this chapter, the narrow and more conventional definition of adequacy will be used.
