In medicine,<unk>  is a number used to quantify hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis treatment adequacy. *K – dialyzer clearance of urea *t – dialysis time *V –<unk> olume of distribution of urea, approximately equal to patient's total body water In the context of hemodialysis,<unk>  is a pseudo-dimensionless number; it is dependent on the pre- and post-dialysis concentration (see below). It is not the product of K and t divided by<unk> , as would be the case in a true dimensionless number. In peritoneal dialysis, it isn't dimensionless at all. It was developed by Frank Gotch and John Sargent as a way for measuring the dose of dialysis when they analyzed the data from the National Cooperative Dialysis Study. In hemodialysis the US National Kidney Foundation<unk>  target is ≥ 1.3, so that one can be sure that the delivered dose is at least 1.2. In peritoneal dialysis the target is ≥ 1.7/week. Despite the name,<unk>  is quite different from standardized<unk> .
