dialysis adequacy

Dialysis adequacy measures how effectively dialysis cleanes the blood and removes waste products and excess fluids in patients with kidney failure. It ensures that the treatment sufficiently mimics healthy kidney function, preventing buildup of harmful substances. Healthcare providers evaluate dialysis adequacy through tests like Kt/V and urea reduction ratio, which quantify how well toxins are cleared during each session. Maintaining appropriate dialysis adequacy is crucial for reducing complications, improving quality of life, and extending survival, ensuring the patient’s body remains in a healthier, balanced state.
