Can Rescaling Dose of Dialysis to Body Surface Area in the HEMO Study Explain the Different Responses to Dose in Women versus Men?

[摘要] Background and objectives: In the Hemodialysis (HEMO) Study, the lower death rate in women but not in men assigned to the higher dose (Kt/V) could have resulted from use of “V” as the normalizing factor, since women have a lower anthropometric V per unit of surface area (V/SA) than men.
