Disease-specific predictive formulas for energy expenditure in the dialysis population
(2014-04-28)
OBJECTIVE: Metabolic rate is poorly understood in advanced kidney disease because direct measurement is expensive and time-consuming. Predictive equations for resting energy expenditure (REE) are needed based on simple ...
Energy metabolism, body composition, and urea generation rate in hemodialysis patients
(2013-10-01)
Hemodialysis (HD) adequacy is currently assessed using normalized urea clearance (Kt/V), although scaling based on Watson volume (V) may disadvantage women and men with low body weight. Alternative scaling factors such as ...
Emerging importance of residual renal function in end-stage renal failure
(2011-10-18)
Residual renal function (RRF) is well recognized as an important marker of outcomes in peritoneal dialysis (PD), and contributes vitally to solute clearance. Recently, its importance in hemodialysis (HD) has emerged with ...
