Can rescaling dose of dialysis to body surface area in the HEMO study explain the different responses to dose in women versus men?
Clin J Am Soc Nephrol. 2010; (9): 1628-36
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.
