Kt/V Daugirdas — Dialysis Adequacy (Second Generation)

Calculate single-pool Kt/V dialysis adequacy using the Daugirdas second-generation formula from pre- and post-dialysis BUN, dialysis time, and ultrafiltration volume, targeting Kt/V ≥1.2 per session.

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 single-pool Kt/V dialysis adequacy using the Daugirdas second-generation formula from pre- and post-dialysis BUN, dialysis time, and ultrafiltration volume, targeting Kt/V ≥1.2 per session

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Daugirdas second-generation formula from pre- — The daugirdas second-generation formula from pre- recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Post-dialysis BUN — The post-dialysis bun recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Dialysis time — The dialysis time recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Ultrafiltration volume — The ultrafiltration volume recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Targeting Kt/V ≥1 — The targeting kt/v ≥1 recorded for the scenario being assessed.

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

How to Use

Enter the Daugirdas second-generation formula from pre-, post-dialysis BUN, dialysis time, ultrafiltration volume, targeting Kt/V ≥1 for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate single-pool Kt/V dialysis adequacy using the Daugirdas second-generation formula from pre- and post-dialysis BUN, dialysis time, and ultrafiltration volume, targeting Kt/V ≥1.2 per session. Use the kt/v daugirdas result to inform your calculation.
