Good posts!    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

Just goes to show you that there are still good things out there that are free.

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