Limitations of Kt/V in PD There are several limitations to use of Kt/V in PD including: (1) urea as an inappropriate surrogate for clearance of all uremic toxins, (2) physiologic differences between HD and PD, (3) no difference in mortality based on Kt/V targets, (4) peritoneal Kt/V is not equivale to residual kidney Kt/V, (5) inaccuracies in measurement of “V”, (6) increased time and resources for health care teams.
