Adequacy of hemodialysis in acute kidney injury: Real-time monitoring of dialysate ultraviolet absorbance vs. blood-based Kt/Vurea.

In this pilot study of patients with AKI, UV-spKt/Vurea correlated with standard blood-based spKt/Vurea and may be a useful tool to monitor dialysis adequacy. Larger studies evaluating multiple UV and blood-based measurements per patient and a more diverse AKI population are needed to confirm this initial observation.
