Question: how to calculate bvp in dialysis?
Answer: So the ratio – K multiplied by t to V, or Kt/V – compares the amount of water that passes through the dialyzer and is cleared of urea to the amount of water in the patient's body. Caveat: If this same patient has 3 kg of edema fluid (EDW of 70kg) then V = 60% (70kg)+ 100%(3kg)= 45L and not 42L.
