Percentage of all adult (>= 18 years old) peritoneal dialysis patients with weekly Kt/V urea (endogenous residual renal urea clearance & dialytic) calculated in a standard way.
Patients with: (1) Weekly Kt/Vurea used to measure delivered peritoneal dialysis dose and endogenous renal urea clearance; (2) Residual renal function (unless negligible [< 100mL urine in 24 hours]) assessed by measuring the renal component of Kt/Vurea and estimating the patient´s glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by calculating the mean of urea and creatinine clearance; (3) Total body water (V) estimated by either the Watson or Hume method using actual body weight, and BSA estimated by either the Dubois and Dubois method, the Gehan and George method, or the Haycock method of using actual body weight; during the four month study period.
