hemodialysis
peritoneal dialysis
continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT)
What do we assess for pre-op kidney transplant?

to make sure there is no issues of urine backflow
What should we educate our patients who just had a kidney transplant??

What is a fistula?
- surgical connection of an artery and a vein (nothing artificial!)
- must mature before beginning use for dialysis/ can take weeks/months
What is a graft?
-PROSTHEITC graft inserted between an artery and vein.
- can be used more quickly, doesn’t last as long, prone to infection
