Graphs showing weekly creatinine clearance and Kt/V among CAPD patients according to transporter type and gender
The weekly Kt/V (left) is compared with the CCr (right) in anuric males and females of varying transporter types (L, LA, HA, and H are low, low-average, high-average, and high transporter types, respectively) who are on 8 liters of therapy per day. Since weight has a greater impact on Kt/V than on CCr, the Kt/V is higher in females compared with males; by comparison, the weekly CCr does not vary significantly with gender.
