URR

(Urea reduction ratio) A measure of dialysis adequacy. It is the the fall in blood urea levels over a session of haemodialysis, expressed as a percentage (for example pre dialysis urea = 25, post dialysis = 10, URR = 60%). For someone on three times a week haemodialysis, the UK standard for URR is 65%, though this may be hard to achieve in all people.
