Kt/Vurea was established as an index of haemodialysis (HD) adequacy. The use of Vurea as a normalizing factor has been questioned, and alternative parameters such as body weight(0.67) (W(0.67)), body surface area (BSA), resting energy expenditure (REE), high metabolic rate organ (HMRO) mass, liver size (LV) and more recently, bioelectrical resistance (R), an independent and directly measurable biological parameter, were proposed as alternative methods for scaling dialysis dose.
