Nomogram Relating Kt/V and URR
Instead of equations, a nomogram can be used to easily estimate Kt/V from the URR in clinical practice. To use the nomogram, one needs to know the postdialysis weight (W) as well as the amount of weight (fluid) loss during the dialysis session (UF). First, find the URR on the vertical axis, then move over to the proper isopleth (curved line) depending on the amount of weight lost during dialysis (UF/W). Then drop down to the horizontal axis to read off the Kt/V value:

Famous quotes containing the word relating:
“The middle years are ones in which children increasingly face conflicts on their own,...

They can be sounding boards and they can probe with the children the consequences of alternative actions.”
