Kt/v is used to quantify how well your haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis treatment adequacy is removing waste products from the body. Dialysis is necessary in order to remove this waste, such as urea from the blood in patients with kidney failure. High urea levels of other harmful waste products building up.

Measure of adequacy shows how well the dialysis is working. Special tests are also carried out to make sure enough water and waste products are being cleared from the blood, in order to keep you well.

Early indication of effectiveness of treatment allowing you to optimise the treatment Rate of change of treatment

Pre and Post assessment allows you to establish the goals and track the changes. Pre and Post assessment changes can be observed. To determine the degree of over hydration in the body assessment is performed at the start of treatment and Post assessment is performed at the end.

The difference between the Pre and Post is calculated for each patient to facilitate comparison. The patient is tracked throughout the treatment along with the rate of change.

The rate at which fluid is removed during ultrafiltration plays an important role

Kidneys are one of the most vital organs in our bodies. Harmful by-products generated in our metabolic processes are removed from our bodies. Not only waste material but all the excess substances like water, glucose, vitamins etc. are also removed to establish the balance.

Ultrafiltration is the process where the blood is filtered under high pressure, and most of the substances in blood go into the nephron. In haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis treatment it is important to quantify the blood flow rate, and the dialysate flow rate to account for the fluid removal (ultrafiltration) during dialysis as well as urea generation.

Osteoporosis assessment – Early diagnoses of Low Bone Density and Mineral Composition

BioScan touch i8 a novel, non-invasive and safe technique for assessing Bone density and Mineral composition. The assessment could help determine risk factors to osteoporosis.

Losing bone density is a normal part of aging but in some cases the process is faster which leads to Osteoporosis increasing the risk of fractures. Women are at a greater risk of osteoporosis, particularly if the menopause begins early. At this stage Bone loss is more rapid.

Prevention and successful treatment by early warning estimation of deficiency in essential parameters can help with us to understand the complex balance.

Minerals are an essential part of our everyday function in order to carry out many important functions, for growth, reproduction, repair and maintain overall good health.

Protein is a macronutrient essential for repairing and building muscle and organ for recovery. A building block for hormones and enzymes that regulate metabolism and other body functions. Lacking Protein may lead to tiredness, weakness, poor recovery. Potassium is also a very important mineral for the proper function of all cells, tissues, and organs in the human body.
