- Abstract
Introduction: The burden of kidney disease patients requiring renal replacement therapy is increasing day by day. Hemodialysis (HD) constitutes the most common form of renal replacement therapy (RRT) worldwide. Determining the adequacy of hemodialysis, Urea kinetic modeling (UKM) is an important tool for this. The aim of this study was to determine hemodialysis adequacy by UKM. Material & Methods: A total 137 patients were sampled in dialysis center of Combined Military Hospital (CMH) Dhaka. This was a cross sectional study. Data were collected from predialysis, postdialysis and next predialysis blood sample. Mean of adequacy parameters like single pool Kt/V (spKt/V), urea reduction ratio (URR), time average concentration of urea (TACurea) and normalized protein catabolic rate (NPCR) were calculated and compared between twice and thrice per week hemodialysis groups. Also compared adequacy variables between groups who achieved cutoff values and who did not achieve it.
