1/ We're going to focus on factors related to Qb
🩸Qb is an active player in hemodialysis dose prescription. If we want to optimize dosing, we must know how Qb works in KT/V equation:
💺K =Dialyzer Clearance (ml/min)
🕒T = Time (min)
🧍♂️V = Distribution vol of Urea(ml)

2/ How do we get the Dialyzer Clearance (K)?
First, we need KoA
KoA is the maximum theoretical clearance of the dialyzer in mL/min for a given solute (urea) at INFINITE Qb and Qd
Provided by the manufacturer, is determined in vitro, and usually overestimates by about 20%
