Meeting Kt/V targets may not reflect broader adequacy in CAPD; leaves open validation of additional indices in low-resource settings.
Cross-Sectional (n=70)
No
In a predominantly low socioeconomic status African CAPD population, the majority achieved recommended weekly Kt/V doses, though Kt/V was not significantly associated with other indices of dialysis adequacy.
Abdu et al. (2015) conducted a cross-sectional in Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) (n=70). Weekly Kt/V (solute clearance) was evaluated on Association of weekly Kt/V with blood pressure, hemoglobin, and other biochemical parameters. Weekly Kt/V (mean 1.7) was within recommended values for the majority of CAPD patients and showed no significant association with blood pressure, hemoglobin, or other biochemical indices.
