Urnid refers to midpoint blood urea concentration. PRU is the percent reduction in urea calculated as PRU = (Upre-Upost) * 100/Upre. t refers to time on dialysis, W to body weight, UF to ultrafiltration volume, and R to ratio UpostiUpre. US is not known, but if the trend towards regulatory control by the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) is any indication, the practice may soon become universal. The number of formulas recommended for evaluation of urea kinetics continues to rise (Table 1) [3-10].
