| Popis: | BackgroundDialysis adequacy, as measured by single pool Kt/V, is an important parameter for assessing hemodialysis (HD) patients’ health. Guidelines have recommended Kt/V of 1.2 as the minimum dose for thrice-weekly HD. We describe Kt/V achievement, its predictors and its relationship with mortality in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates).MethodsWe analyzed data (2012–18) from the prospective cohort Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study for 1544 GCC patients ≥18 years old and on dialysis >180 days.ResultsThirty-four percent of GCC HD patients had low Kt/V (ConclusionRelatively large proportions of GCC HD patients have low Kt/V. Increasing BFR to ≥350 mL/min and TT to ≥4 h thrice weekly will reduce low Kt/V prevalence and may improve survival in GCC HD patients—particularly among women. |
