DIALYSIS Flashcards

kidney replacement
therapy that
removes metabolic
waste products,
and toxins, as well
as excess fluid and
electrolytes from

DIALYSIS
required due to end-stage renal disease, which means the kidneys have lost almost all their
function.
can also be used to correct fluid, acid-base, and electrolyte imbalances, and to treat drug overdoses
DIALYSIS
Two types of dialysis
HEMODIALYSIS and PERITONEAL DIALYSIS.
To perform dialysis,
vascular access for

hemodialysis
To perform dialysis,
abdominal access for
peritoneal
dialysis
temporary venous
access can be obtained
through a catheter in the

acute setting.
internal jugular or femoral
vein
Temporary Catheter HEMODIALYSIS
ACUTE
When permanent access is
needed for long-term
hemodialysis, an

arteriovenous or AV fistula or graft
an
arteriovenous or AV fistula or graft creates a
connection between a small artery and a vein, which causes the vein to become “-,”
meaning it increases in size, develops thicker walls and blood flow is increased.
“arterialized
vascular access dialysis
HEMODIALYSIS
ACUTE HEMODIALYSIS
Temporary Catheter in:
Internal Jugular Vein
Femoral Vein
AV fistula: created surgically, vein is arterialized
LONG TERM HEMODIALYSIS
peritoneal access dialysis
PERITONEAL DIALYSIS
Permanent Access HEMODIALYSIS
LONG TERM HEMODIALYSIS
