85
QuestionLong: 
Why is having a URR of 65 or more important?

Research has shown that patients with a URR of 65 or more are less likely to have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, weakness, or mental confusion. Having a URR of 65 or more helps prevent these symptoms and helps prevent other illnesses that can happen if you don't get enough hemodialysis. If you have a URR of 65 or more, you are getting adequate hemodialysis.
