Dialysis Adequacy (Kt/V — Daugirdas)

Calculates single-pool Kt/V using the Daugirdas formula to assess adequacy of haemodialysis. Target Kt/V >=1.4 per session (thrice weekly).

Score interpretation

Adequate dialysis (Kt/V >=1.4)

→ Dialysis dose is adequate; continue current prescription

Marginally adequate (Kt/V 1.2-1.4)

→ Consider increasing session duration or blood flow rate

Inadequate dialysis (Kt/V <1.2)

→ Underdialysed; increase session time, frequency, or blood/dialysate flow; assess access adequacy

Interpretation bands for the Kt/V Dialysis. Apply clinical judgement and local guidance.
