Each day that I am at dialysis, there are key records that help both my medical team and me know how well the dialysis has been going. Although I keep a record of them in by notebook, I have recently thought that it may be useful to have a record online as well. That is why this page exists.

I am recording the Total eKt/V, Total Blood Volume, Total Substitute Volume, ΔBV, Total UF, and the Final weight in kilogrammes here.

Some definitions

This is a work in progress on getting some definitions but they will be added to in due course when I get some explanations.

TeKt/V

Kt/V is a measure of dialysis adequacy. Ideally, each treatment should reach 1.2 at least.

• K = clearance—the amount of urea your dialyzer can remove (litres/minute)
• t = time—the duration of treatment (minutes)
• V = volume—the amount of body fluid (litres)

TBV

TSV

ΔBV

TUF

The ultrafiltration (UF) volume is the amount of water that needs to be removed during a single treatment session to bring a patient back to their target or base weight. This volume is typically measured in terms of weight, with 1 litre of water equivalent to 1 kilogram.
