WCN25-4428 IMPACT OF PATIENT AND DIALYSIS THERAPIST EDUCATION ON DIALYSIS ADEQUACY AND ULTRAFILTRATION RATES IN THREE RURAL PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP MODEL CENTERS FROM SOUTH INDIA

Enhanced blood flow during dialysis is associated with improved dialysis adequacy as measured by Kt/V. A higher ultrafiltration rate (UFR) is associated with higher mortality. This study aims to evaluate the effects of continued patient education combined with dialysis therapist training on blood flow, Kt/V, and ultrafiltration rates in dialysis patients over a one-year period across three dialysis centers in south India that cater predominantly to a rural populace.
