Issue Date: | 15-Nov-2019 | Publisher: | Scientific Foundation SPIROSKI | Journal: | Open Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences | Abstract: | Dialysis adequacy measured by single pool Kt/V (spKt/V) lower than 1.2 or urea reduction rate (URR) lower than 65% is associated with a significant increase in patient mortality rate. Patients' adherence to the medical treatment is crucial to achieve recommended targets for spKt/V. Smoking is a recognized factor of non-adherence. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12188/14599 | ISSN: | 1857-9655 | DOI: | 10.3889/oamjms.2019.851 |
