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 from pre- and post-dialysis BUN to assess hemodialysis adequacy. Target spKt/V ≥1.4 per session

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Pre- — The pre- recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Post-dialysis BUN — The post-dialysis bun recorded for the scenario being assessed.

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

How to Use

Enter the pre-, post-dialysis BUN for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate single-pool Kt/V from pre- and post-dialysis BUN to assess hemodialysis adequacy. Target spKt/V ≥1.4 per session. Use the dialysis kt/v result to inform your calculation.
