Chapter 179 - Hemodialysis access - nonthrombotic complication Flashcards
KDOQI 2006 listed access complications
1) bleeding
2) infection
3) aneurysm/pseudoaneurysm
4) seroma
5) access-related hand ischemia
6) venous hypertension
7) neuropathy
Cardiopulmonary not listed
Bleeding associated with ESRD
1) PUD
2) retroperitoneal spontaneous bleed
3) hemorrhagic transformation of stroke
Causes of increased bleeding in ESRD
1) anemia
2) thrombocytopenia
3) acquired defects
Uremia-induced platelet dysfunction
1) reduce GPIb (plt cannot adhere to subendothelium)
2) change GPIIb/IIIa (inhibit fibrinogen binding)
Anemia causes platelet inhibition
Anemia –> increase NO activity –> vasodilation and plt inhibition
Drugs that accumulate that can cause bleeding
1) beta-lactam antibiotics
2) oral anticoagulation (DOAC)
Afib in CKD rate
20% have afib
Percentage of herald bleed or access infection prior to fatal hemorrhage from access
40%
herald within 6 month
Desmopressin activity
1) synthetic ADH (arginine vasopressin) = 1-deasmino-8-D-arginine vasopressin
2) dose 0.3-0.4 mcg/kg iv or sc
3) rapid release of vWF and FVIII and decrease protein C activity
Platelet transfusion in bleeding in ESRD
immediate activity but last 45 hours
inactivated in uremic environment
cryoprecipitate define
plasma derivative with
1) fibrinogen
2) vWF
3) factor VIII
Maximum effect of cryoprecipitate and lasting duration
4-12 hours max, last 24 hr
Complication with cryoprecipitate
1) anaphylaxis
2) hemolysis
Protamine dose
1-1.5 mg/100 Units heparin
Recombinant factor VIIa use in bleeding
Off label
risk of systemic thromboembolic complication
Percentage of ESRD patients with HGB < 100
20%
Conjugated estrogen for prophylactic against bleeding
25-50 mg (0.6 mg/kg/d IV x 5 days)
1) vWF synthesis
2) reduce protein S
3) reduce NO
Effect of estrogen for bleeding
onset
peak
duration
6 hours onset
peak 5-7 days
last 14 days
Infection grade of AV access as per SVS
Grade 0: none
Grade 1: resolved with antibiotics
Grade 2: loss of AV access due to ligation, removal, bypass
Grade 3: loss of limb
Most common access-related infection organism
Single organism Staphylococcus
Gram negative 25%
Risk of infection of AV graft, tunneled catheter and temp catheter compared to autogenous AVF
AVG 2.2
Tunneled catheter 13.6
Temporary catheter 32.6
Centers for Disease control and prevention on risk factors associated with dialysis
1) catheter use
2) specific dialysis units
3) malnutrition (albumin < 35)
Percentage of access loss due to infection
20%
1 year infection rate for autogenous vs prosthetic
4.5% vs 19.7%
Risk factors for infection
1) repeated cannulation
2) cannulation technique (buttonhole)
3) poor hygiene
4) repeated hospitalization
5) duration of prosthetic AV access use
6) age
7) LE location
8) diabetes
Antibiotics in access infection
Vancomycin and gentamicin
If low MRSA then nafcillin, oxacillin or cefazolin
Antibiotic duration for autogenous infection
2-4 weeks
4-6 weeks if endograft exist
Recurrent infection rate in prosthetic infection salvage
20%
Rate of pseudoaneurysm in PTFE grafts
2-10%
usually in older grafts
Open revision of pseudoaneurysm in AV access
1) bypass
2) resection and interpositional repair
3) aneurysmorrhaphy
Endovascular repair of AV access pssudoaneurysm
Covered stent
concurrent treatment of outflow stenosis
cost ineffective
risk of infection and thrombosis
not justified to be done
Causes of true aneurysms in AV access
1) post-stenotic at arterial anastomosis
2) cannulation area
3) near vein junctions
4) near valves
