| Abstract | The National Cooperative Dialysis Study (NCDS) showed the viability of the single-pool urea kinetic model (spUKM) to maintain the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) level of the renal patient in an adequate target interval, defining the single-pool normalized clearance of urea spKt/V as an index of the hemodialysis dose. However, the urea distribution is a nonuniform problem, due to the barriers between pools in the body distribution volume. The urea rebound induced by the hemodialysis is a consequence of this nonuniform distribution and limits the applicability of the NCDS. The viability of a more recent index, the equilibrated Kt/V (eKt/V), is being studied, because it is not affected by the urea rebound. This index is defined substituting the postdialysis BUN by equilibrated BUN (measured about an hour from the end of hemodialysis). In spite of its good results to calculate the hemodialysis dose in the presence of urea rebound, the eKt/V is unable to prescribe a hemodialysis, because the equilibrated clearance is different to the dialyzer clearance. We present a new hemodialysis prescribing procedure which calculates the adequate dialyzer clearance to obtain a target time averaged concentration of urea. This procedure is supported by a new model that we have developed: the normalized single-pool urea kinetic model (spUKM/sup norm/), which is able to calculate a good approximation to the real Kt/V based in dialyzer clearance. The eKt/V and spKt/V are used in intermediate steps of our procedure, and so the actual advances in these indexes can be taken into account. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
