What is Fresenius Medical Care's goal for spkt/v?

Fresenius Medical Care aims for a spkt/v value of 1.4 in patients undergoing hemodialysis. This target reflects the company's focus on achieving optimal dialysis adequacy, which is essential for improving patient outcomes. A spkt/v value of 1.4 indicates that the dialysis treatment is providing an adequate removal of toxins from the blood, promoting better nutritional status and overall health for the patient.

This goal is based on established clinical guidelines that suggest reaching this level can lead to improved patient survival rates and reduced morbidity associated with end-stage renal disease. Targeting a spkt/v of 1.4 helps ensure that patients are receiving the right balance of dialysis duration and efficiency, which is critical for maintaining their well-being during treatment.
