Dialysis Adequacy
For adult patients on hemodialysis, Kt/V should be at least 1.2 and for peritoneal dialysis at least 1.7; that means they are receiving the right amount of dialysis. For pediatric patients, Kt/V should be at least 1.2 on hemodialysis and 1.8 on peritoneal dialysis.
Higher percentages are better.

Vascular Access
The arteriovenous (AV) fistula is considered the best long-term vascular access for hemodialysis because it
allows good blood flow, lasts a long time, and is less likely to get infected or cause blood clots than other types of access.
Patients who don't have time to get a permanent vascular access before they start hemodialysis treatments may need to use a venous catheter as a temporary access.
