Exam 2 Flashcards
What is Heart Failure?
Chronic, progressive condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood
Decreased ejection fraction of <50%
Heart Failure
Signs and Symptoms
SOB, wheezing/coughing, edema, fatigue, lack of appetite, nausea, confusion, increased HR
Heart Failure
Factors that Affect Intake
Changes in taste/smell, dietary restrictions, limited energy to buy/prep food, digestive disturbances, cardiac cachexia
Heart Failure
Nutritional Guidelines
Basic Guidelines
20-25 kcal/kg + AF
PRO: 1.1-1.4 g/kg
Heart Failure
Nutritional Guidelines
Classes I-IV and Stages B and C
22 kcal/kg ABW + AF (nourished pt)
24 kcal/kg ABW + AF (malnourished pt)
PRO: No Change
Sodium: 1500 mg/day
Sodium Rec for Stages A and B
Heart Failure
Nutritional Guidelines
Stage D
18 kcal/kg ABW + AF
PRO: no change
Sodium: <3 g/day
Sodium Rec for stages C and D
Heart Failure Education Recommendations
2-2.5 g Na/day (if malnourished consider no restriction)
1500-2000 mL/day
Heart Failure
When is it not appropriate to provide HF education?
Must meet 2 criteria
- MST of >2
- BMI <20
- Advanced age (+80)
- Braden Total <12 (wound development score)
Heart Transplant
Pre-Transplant Evaluation
- Nutrition hx with diet recall
- DEXA-bone density
- Adherence to diet recommendations
- Height, weight, BMI (<35)
- Albumin/Prealbumin Trends
- Hgb A1c 10%
DEXA: immunosuppressants decrease bone density
Heart Transplant
Post Transplant Nutrition Recommendations
30-35 kcal/kg (in absence of infection)
PRO: 1.5-2 g/kg initially
Carbs: 55-60%
Lipids: 30%
Fluids: 2000 mL
Supplement Electrolytes and Vitamin D
PRO: 1 g/kg in chronic post-transplant stage
Heart Tranplant
LVAD
Left Ventricular Assit Device
Pulls blood from L-Ventricle through a pump to be oxygenated, sent into aorta, and sent back through the body
Heart Transplant
When might an LVAD be used?
Can be a bridge to transplant (BTT), improved cardiac fx while waiting for transplant
Can be destination therapy, when the pt is not an appropriate transplant candidate (long-term treatment)
Lung Transplant
COPD Nutrition Recommendations
Energy: 125-165% greater than BEE
PRO: 1.2-1.7 g/kg
Lung Transplant
COPD
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Progressive lung disease that causes restricted airflow and breathing problems
Lung Transplant
Cystic Fibrosis
genetic disease that causes the body to produce thick, sticky mucus that can lead to breathing and digestion problems
Lung Transplant
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
chronic lung disease that causes the lungs to stiffen and thicken with scar tissue, making it difficult to breathe
Lung Tranplant
Alpha-I Antitrypsin Deficiency
(AATD)
AAT production is reduced, this causes the body’s infection fighting agents to damage alveoli and lining of lungs
Lung Transplant
Pulmonary HTN
occurs when the blood pressure in the lungs’ arteries is too high
Lung Transplant
MNT Goals
Limit Na to decrease fluid retention
Ca and Vitamin D adequacy
Adequate fluids
Lung Transplant
Pretransplant Evaluation
- Nutrition hx
- Adherence to diet recommendations
- adequate caloric intake
- BMI
- Hgb A1c 8%
BMI:
F <30
M <32
Lung Transplant
Nutrition Needs Post-Transplant
35 kcal/kg OR 130-150% of BEE
PRO: 1.5-2.0 g/kg
Meds: immunosuppressors and increase blood sugars
PRO: decreased to 1 g/kg are corticosteroids are decreased
Normal Renal Function
- Filters blood, maintains fluid balance, regulates electrolytes, BP regulation
Renal Disease
Nephrons
Functioning part of kidney
* Filters, reabsorbs, and excretes waste
Renal Disease
Renal Corpuscle
blood-filtering component of the nephron of the kidney
*Crt is a key lab for diagnosing kidney disease
High Crt = not properly excreting
Renal Disease
Renal Tubule
filters waste and toxins from the blood and returns nutrients and other substances back to the body
Kidney Disease
What is the most common cause of Kidney Disease (2)?
HTN and DM
Kidney Disease
Biochemical Labs to Monitor
- BUN: indicator of kidney fx
- Crt: indicator of proper waste filtering (affected by muscle mass)
- Na (affected by fluid balance)
- K+
- Phosphorous
- Magnesium
- Sodium
Phos usually high when fx falls below 25%
Renal Disease
How can K+ be treated?
Dialysis, balancing blood sugars, medication (Kayexalate or Lokelma)
Renal Disease
Estimated Needs
Stage 1-4 Pre-Dialysis
25-30 kcal/kg (20-30 kcal is sedentary & 60+)
PRO: 0.6-0.8 g/kg (50% biological value)
Sodium: 2-3 g/day
Vitamin D3: 2000 mg/day
Biological value: typically animal protein, utilized more efficiently
Renal Disease
Nutrition Recommendations
Dialysis
25-35 kcal/kg
PRO:
* HD: 1.2 g/kg
* Peritoneal: 1.2-1.3 g/kg
Sodium: 2-3 g/day
Fluid: 1000 mL + urine output
K+: 2-3 g/day
Phos: 1000-1200 mg/day
Pt is on CRRT: PRO 1.8-2.5 g/kg
Renal Disease
Acute Kidney Injury
AKI
- Caused by drop in blood flow (caused by accident, sepsis, dehydration)
- Can be reversed
- Causes accelerated loss of PRO and AA (muscle wasting)
Renal Disease
How quickly does Enteral nutrition need to be started if pt is in ICU with AKI?
within 48 hours
Renal Disease
End Stage Renal Disease
ESRD
Deterioration of fx to level at which uremia can cause death
Uremia: urine in blood due to inability to filter waste
Renal Disease
Indications for Dialysis
AEIOU
Acidosis
Electrolyte Abnormalities
Intoxication
Overload (fluid)
Uremia
K+ will be too high, main indicator of dialysis
Renal Disease
MNT Goal: Kidney Transplant
optimize nutritional status prior to surgery
Heart Failure
HFpEF
- Diastolic HF
- Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
- Heart is stiff and unable to relax enough to fill with blood
Heart Failure
HFrEF
- Systolic HF
- Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
- heart is weak and cannot pump with enough force to get to rest of body
Heart Failure
Most Common type of HF
Left Sided and it affects the lungs
Renal Disease
Acute Care Post-Transplant Nutritional Needs
30-35 kcal/kg
PRO: 1.2-2 g/kg
*wound healing with high PRO and kcal
Renal Disease
Long Term Post Transplant Goals
- Weight control
- Lipid management
- Lifestyle changes (reduced CVD risk)
- Blood Gluc management
- Prevent osteoperosis (1200-1500 mg Ca/day)
Metabolic Syndrome
group of risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing heart disease, diabetes, and other health conditions
Metabolic Syndrome Risk Factors
- Abd Obesity - waist circumference
- Hypertriglyceridemia >150 mg/dL
- Low HDL
- High BP >130/85
- High Fasting Gluc >110 mg/dL
Low HDL (M: <40, F: <50)
Waist (M: >40 in, F: >35 in)
What kind of Nitrogen balance do you want for HF?
Positive Nitrogen balance
Positive balance for any condition where higher nutrient needs are required
