Abstract

Dialysis adequacy for pediatric patients has largely followed the trends in adult dialysis by judging the success or adequacy of peritoneal or hemodialysis with urea kinetic modeling. While this provides a starting point to establish a dose of dialysis, it is clear that urea is only part of the picture. Many clinical parameters and interventions now have been identified that are just as impactful on mortality and morbidly as urea clearance. As such, our concept of adequacy is evolving to include non-urea parameters and assessing the impact that following an “adequate therapy” has on patient lives. As we move to a new era, we consider the impact these therapies have on patients and how it affects the quality of their lives; we must take these factors into consideration to achieve a therapy that is not just adequate, but livable.
