Dialysis and Renal Replacement Therapies Flashcards
Renal Replacement Therapies
-Hemodialysis
-Peritoneal Dialysis
-CAPD
-CCPD
-NIPD
-NTPD
-CAVH
-CVVH
-CVVHD
Renal Replacement Therapy indications (AEIOU)
-Acid/base balance (metabolic acidosis)
-Electrolytes (Na and K)
-Intoxication (poison)
-Overload of fluid
-Uremia
RRT does NOT tx
-mineral bone disorder
-anemia
-phosphorus
Hemodialysis
-intermittent
-3-4 hour sessions MWF or TRS
-for ESRD
When to initiate hemodialysis
-BUN > 100
-SCr > 10
-s/sx of uremia
Goal of hemodialysis tx
-remove middle molecules (500-5000Daltons)
-B2 microglobulin
-Uric Acid
-Creatinine
-etc
Vascular access for HD
-AV fistula
-AV graft
-no needle sticks or BP cuffs on access arm
AV fistula
-anastamosis between radial artery and cephalic vein for HD access
-longest survival rates (~20 years)
-less complications
-1-2 months to mature
AV graft
-alt to fistula
-graft created from connecting artery and vein with polytetrafluoroethylene tube
-shorter survival (higher infection rate)
-2-3 weeks to mature
Steal Syndrome
-issue with AV fistula
-restricts too much blood from hand
-might prefer graft for diabetes patients with PVD
Dialysis Procedure
-blood and dialysate in hemodialyzer
-blood back to body
-dialysate to waste
-concentration gradient (semipermeable membrane)
-K out of blood
-bicarb into blood

Higher rate of dialysis
-pulls more fluid out of patient
-good for edema
Substances NOT removed by dialysis
-high Vd (in tissue not blood)
-high lipophilicity
-large molecular weight
-Highly protein bound
Take meds before or after dialysis
