Good posts!  :2thumbsup;  The only thing about the KT/V DIALYSIS ADEQUACY site is that it is highly technical and any average patient would not know what to do with that site.  :'(  Even for me who knows now how to put in my numbers and set up the machine right from boot, I don't know what to enter where :P

Thanks for bringing this up again OKarol!  I used the calculator and my GVR is 9.  Handy to know.
