| File Description | Adequacy of dialysis, defined as clearance of small solutes or dose of dialysis, is a major issue in the nephrology community. In peritoneal dialysis (PD), urea and creatinine clearances both are used to assess the dose of dialysis. By tradition, various factors have been used to normalize these clearances for variations in body size. Creatinine clearance is standardized to body surface area (BSA), whereas for urea, the fractional clearance Kt/V is based on the distribution volume (V) for urea, which is equivalent to total body water (TBW).
