Q

patients able to excrete normal amount of water and electrolytes until ? function

A

lt ~ 10%

21
Q

physiological effects of chronic renal failure x3

A

uremia, anemia, hypertension

22
Q

anemia in chronic renal failure patients results from…?

A

decreased secretion of erythropoetin

rbc has 50% lifespan

23
Q

peritoneal dialysis: frequency, where, nota bene

A

intermittent
can be done at home
less effective

24
Q

hemodialysis: frequency, for what

A

intermittent

for chronic esrd

25
Q

continuous veno-veno hemofiltration dialysis: frequency, for what, where

A

continuous
acute renal failure
in ICU: less hemodynamic stability

26
Q

peritoneal dialysis basic principles x3

physics x2

A

fill
dwell
drain

driven by gravity and diffusion

27
Q

peritoneal dialysis: types x2

A

continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis

automated peritoneal dialysis (continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis)

28
Q

s/s peritonitis in pd patient

A

cloudy dialysate, fever, abdominal tenderness, nausea, vomiting

29
Q

a hemodialysis dialyzer is basically…

A

an artificial kidney!

30
Q

hemodialysis physics x2

A

diffusion (dialysis)

convection (ultrafiltration)

31
Q

main components of hemodialysis machine x3

A

dialysate heater
dialysate pump/flow meter
sensors/alarms

32
Q

continuous renal replacement therapy umbrella term for… x3

A

continuous venovenous hemodialysis (cvvhd)
continuous arteriovenous hemodialysis (cavd)
slow continuous ultrafiltration (scuf)

33
Q

continuous venovenous hemodialysis (cvvhd) basic principle

A

CONVECTION (ultrafiltration) not dialysis

34
Q

diffusion (dialysis)

A

solutes move from high concentration to low concentration

35
Q

hemodialysis for which patient population

A

chronic/esrd

36
Q

continuous venovenous hemodialysis / continuous renal replacement therapy for which patient population x2

A

acute renal failure

profound hypervolemia

37
Q

cvvhd vs hd has what benefit

A

less hemodynamic instability

38
Q

indications for emergent dialysis (aeiou)

A
a cidosis
e lectrolyte imbalance (esp hyperkalemia)
i ngestions (overdose)
o verload
u remia
39
Q

arteriovenous graft: for, where

A

hemodialysis, outpatient

vascular access!

40
Q

arteriovenous graft: for, why

A

hemodialysis, poor vasculature

vascular access!

41
Q

venous catheter: for

A

cvvhd

vascular access!

42
Q

hemodialysis reliable outflow

A

graft designed to bypass central venous stenosis for patients who are failing fistulas or grafts or are catheter-dependent

43
Q

transplant depends on which factors x3

and which is the best match?

A
blood type
HLA 
antibodies (better match, longevity)
44
Q

tacrolimus (Prograf) nursing considerations x4

A

immunosuppression
daily levels drawn
nephrotoxicity possible
preg category c

kidney transplant drug

45
Q

pregnancy category c

A

risk not ruled out

46
Q

pregnancy category d

A

positive evidence of risk

47

A

immunosuppression
preg category d

kidney transplant drug

48

prednisone nursing considerations x3

A

immunosuppresant
often leads to weight gain
pregnancy category c

kidney transplant drug
