30
Q

Dialysis

A

The movement of fluid and molecules across a semipermeable membrane from one compartment to another
Dialysis is a way to clean blood of wastes, fluids and salts that build up in the body when the kidneys fail
Two methods of dialysis available:
- Peritoneal dialysis (PD)
- Hemodialysis (HD)

31
Q

Peritoneal Dialysis

A

Uses the peritoneal membrane as the filter. The membrane covers the abdominal organs and lines the abdominal wall. This takes place inside the body and requires placement of a catheter in the peritoneal cavity to allow fluid to be instilled and drained out

32
Q

Hemodialysis

A

Uses a dialyzer or artificial kidney to filter the blood. This takes place outside the body and requires some form of access to the circulatory system. Accomplished with the use of a dialysis machine

33
Q

Dialysis

A

Begun when the client’s uraemia can no longer be adequately managed conservatively
Initiated when the GFR

34
Q

General Principles of Dialysis

A

Diffusion: movement of solutes across the peritoneal membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
Osmosis: movement of water across the peritoneal membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration
Ultrafiltration: water removal related to an osmotic pressure gradient with the use of various concentrations of dialysate fluid

35
Q

Peritoneal Dialysis: Catheter placement

A

Peritoneal access is obtained by inserting a catheter through the anterior wall
Technique for catheter placement varies
Usually done via surgery

36
Q

Peritoneal Dialysis: Dialysis Solutions and Cycles

A

Available commercially in 1-or-2L plastic bags with glucose concentrations of 1.5%, 2.5% and 4.25%
Electrolyte composition similar to plasma
Three phases of the PD cycle
- Inflow (fill)
- Dwell (equilibration)
- Drain

37
Q

Peritoneal Dialysis Systems

A

Automated peritoneal dialysis (APD)

Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD)

38
Q

Peritoneal Dialysis Complications

A 
Exit site infection
Peritonitis
Abdominal pain
Outflow problems
Hernias
Lower back problems
Bleeding

Loss of ultrafiltration
39
Q

A 
Short training program
Independence
Ease of traveling
Fewer dietary restrictions
Greater mobility than with HD
40
Q

Hemodialysis: Vascular Access Sites

A

Shunts
Internal arteriovenous fistulas and grafts
Temporary vascular access

41
Q

Hemodialysis: Dialyzers

A

Long plastic cartridge that contains thousands of parallel hollow tubes or fibres

42
Q

Hemodialysis: Complications

A 
Hypotension
Muscle cramps
Loss of blood
Hepatitis
Sepsis
Disequilibrium syndrome
43
Q

Continual Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT)

A

Alternative or adjunctive method for treating ARF
Solutes and a large volume of fluid can be removed slowly and continuously
Can be used in conjunction with HD for continuous fluid removal
Contraindications
- Presence of life-threatening manifestations of uremia

44
Q

Kidney Transplantation

A

Extremely successful
1-year graft survival rate
- 90% for cadaver transplants
- 95% for liver donor transplants

45
Q

Kidney Transplantation: Recipient Selection

A 
Candidacy determined by a variety of medical and psychosocial factors that vary among transplant centres
Contraindications to transplantation:
- Disseminated malignancies
- Cardiac disease
- Chronic respiratory failure
- Extensive vascular disease
- Chronic infection
- Unresolved psychological disorders
46
Q

Kidney Transplantation: Donor Sources

A

Compatible blood type cadaver donors
Blood relatives
Emotionally related living donors
Altruistic living donors

47
Q

Kidney Transplantation: Surgical Procedure

A

Donor nephrectomy performed by a urologist or transplant surgeon
Begins an hour or two before the recipients surgery is started
Laproscopic donor nephrectomy:
- Alternative to conventional nephrectomy

48
Q

Kidney Transplantation: Kidney Transplant Recipient

A

Transplanted kidney:
- Usually placed extraperitoneally in the iliac fossa
- Right ilias fossa is preferred
Before Incision:
- Urinary catheter placed into bladder
- Antibiotic solution instilled (Distends the bladder; decreases risk of infection)

A 
Emotional and physical preparation
Immunosuppressive drugs
ECG
Chest x-ray
Laboratory studies
50
Q

Kidney Transplantation: Post-operative care

A

Liver donor
- Care is similar to laparoscopic nephrectomy
- Close monitoring of renal function
Recipient
- Maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance is first priority

51
Q

Kidney Transplantation: Immunosuppressive Therapy

A

Goals:
Adequately suppress the immune response
- Maintain sufficient immunity to prevent overwhelming infection

52
Q

Kidney Transplantation: Complications

A

Rejection

  • Hyperacute (antibody-mediated, humoral) rejection (Occurs minutes to hours after transplantation)
  • Acute rejection (Occurs days to months after transplantation)
  • Chronic rejection (Process that occurs over months or years and is irreversible)
53
Q

Kidney Transplantation: Complications

A

Infection

- most common infections observed in the first month (Pneumonia, wound infections, IV line and drain infections)

54
Q

Kidney Transplantation: Complications

A

Cardiovascular disease
- Transplant recipients have ^ incidence of atherosclerotic vascular disease
Malignancies
- Primary cause is immunosuppressive therapy

55
Q

Kidney Transplantation: Complications

A

Recurrence of original renal disease

  • Glomerulonephritis
  • IgA nephtropathy
