Abstract:Background
The single-pool model urea clearance index (single-pool Kt/Vurea; spKt/V) is the most commonly used method for dialysis adequacy assessment. However, only a few studies have examined the relationship between spKt/V values and parameters related to sarcopenia and nutritional status. This study aimed to evaluate whether the spKt/V is an indicator of sarcopenia and nutritional status in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).
