The factors that were shown to be determinant candidates for dialysis mortality must be confirmed by well-controlled prospective study. We will get more precise data about the survival and morbidity in the near future by longitudinal observations of those Japanese patients whose modalities and doses of dialysis therapy were determined in 1991. International comparisons with those Japanese data and those of other countries might give us valuable information concerning dialyzer-reuse, short-time dialysis, or effects of races on mortality, which might change the selection criteria for modality choices and prescription of ESRD therapy.
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].
