Q

Which clearance mechanism is better for large solutes?

A

Convection

21
Q

Drug factors influencing dialysis drug removal

A
  • Molecular weight
  • Protein binding
  • Volume of distribution/Lipophilicity
22
Q

Patient factors influencing dialysis drug removal

A
  • Albumin
  • Fluid status
  • Blood pressure
23
Q

Drug removal is increased by

A

Small molecular weight
Low protein binding
Small Vd/lipophilicity
High flux hemodialysis
Semi-synthetic/synthetic dialysis membranes

24
Q

What to do prior hemodialysis? (Dosing)

A
  • Hold AntiHTN drugs
  • Therapeutic dose monitoring
25
Q

What to do during hemodialysis? (Dosing)

A

Give intra-dialytic meds:
- ESA’s
- Active Vitamin D

26
Q

What to do after hemodialysis? (Dosing)

A
  • Supplemental doses of drugs removed
  • Administer meds significantly removed eg ABx
27
Q

What drugs need a supplemental dosing

A

Drugs removed >30 - 40%

28
Q

How much supplemental dose needed? (Equation)

A

Normal dose x fraction removed by HD

29
Q

CrCl IN CKRT

A

Assume 20 - 25 ml/min
**difficult to predict drug removal
**use drug literature

30
Q

Complications of drug dosing

A

Hypotension
Cramping
Fatigue
Infection***
Thrombosis
Bleeding

***#2 cause of mortality in HD

31
Q

Causes of hypotension w/ Hemodialysis

A
  • Hypovolemia
  • excessive fluid removal
  • antiHTN admin prior to HD
  • autonomic dysfunction
32
Q

How to prevent hypotension w/ HD

A
  • Select the appropriate dry weight
  • Hold the antiHTN meds
33
Q

How to manage hypotension w/ HD

A
  • Small fluid bolus 100 - 250 ml 0.9% NaCl
  • Decrease fluid removal (ultrafiltration)
  • Midodrine
34
Q

Midodrine MOA

A

alpha 1 agonist pro drug for peripheral vasoconstriction

35
Q

Midodrine dosing

A

2.5 - 10 mg PO 30 mins before HD

36
Q

Midodrine Adverse Effects

A

bradycardia, hypertension (???), peripheral ischemia, urinary retention

37
Q

Midodrine DDIs

A
  • MAOi’s
  • sympathetic activating drugs
38
Q

Causes of cramping w/ Hemodialysis

A
  • hypovolemia
  • decreased muscle perfusion
39
Q

How to prevent cramping w/ Hemodialysis

A

Selection of appropriate dry weight

40
Q

How to manage cramping w/ Hemodialysis

A
  • small fluid bolus 0.9% NaCl
  • decrease fluid removal
  • Vitamin E 400 IU PO QHS

***NEVER GIVE QUININE (FDA WARNING)

41
Q

Site of infection in Hemodialysis

A

Bloodstream leading to pneumonia

42
Q

2 leading cause of death in Hemodialysis?

43
Q

How to treat MRSA?

A

Vancomycin

44
Q

What type of ABx to use in dialysis infections?

A

Broad spectrum gram +ve or -ve ABx’s

45
Q

Causes of Thrombosis w/ Hemodialyis

A

Virchow’s Triad
- use of ESA’S

46
Q

How to prevent thrombosis w/ Hemdialysis

A

Heparin w/ dialysis

***Risk of HIT

47
Q

How to manage thrombosis w/ Hemodialysis

A

Alteplase (Cathflo) 2mg/2ml for 30 -120 mins

48
