A Multicenter Propensity Score Matching Study of Homologous Convective Volume (HCV): A New Comprehensive Parameter for Dialysis Dose That Improves Survival
HCV is a new and comprehensive parameter for measuring total dialysis dose because it combines the removal of small solutes (Kt/V), the removal of medium-sized solutes (convective volume), and Qb. A higher dialysis dose, as indicated by HCV, is directly linked to increased patient survival. The group receiving the highest dose (HCV of 18 liters or more) showed the greatest longevity (61.9 months) compared to groups with lower doses.
