Through a critical review of nursing and medical literature, this article argues that nephrology nurses have embraced Kt/V at the expense of other core elements of nephrology nursing care. The focus on quality care as technical expertise may dominate at the expense of interpersonal care. Nurses need to challenge the influence Kt/V has on other aspects of nephrology nursing care.
