Normalizing the peritoneal dialysis dose-have we got it right? (2016)
Journal Article
Davies, S. J. (2016). Normalizing the peritoneal dialysis dose-have we got it right?. Kidney International, 90(6), 1162 -1163. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.kint.2016.09.020

How the dialysis dose is normalized is just one of several assumptions that clinicians need to take into account when prescribing peritoneal dialysis. El-Kateb et al. confirm that estimating the volume of urea distribution is associated with signific... Read More about Normalizing the peritoneal dialysis dose-have we got it right?.
