Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine the value of weekly KT/V urea (W. KT/V) and total normalized creatinine clearance (T.Ccr) to define the adequacy of CAPO in children. In 17 children treated with CAPD (median age 14 yrs) KT/V and T.Ccr (by dialysis and the kidney) were measured. Mean W.KT/V was 1.97±0.6 and mean T.Ccr was 56±32L/week/1.73m2. A clear positive correlation was found between W.KT/V and T.Ccr (r=0.862, p
