Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Calculate hemodialysis adequacy (Kt/V) using Daugirdas second generation formula. Target single-pool Kt/V ≥1.2 per session for thrice-weekly HD

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Daugirdas second generation formula — The daugirdas second generation formula recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the dialysis kt/v result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the Daugirdas second generation formula for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate hemodialysis adequacy (Kt/V) using Daugirdas second generation formula. Target single-pool Kt/V ≥1.2 per session for thrice-weekly HD. Use the dialysis kt/v result to inform your clinical assessment.
