HD Flashcards
indication of starting RRT?
intractable FO / HT refractory hyperK refractory acidosis refractory anaemia unexplained functional decline weight loss or nutritional status deterioration
urgent: neuropathy, encephalopathy, pericarditis, pleuritis, bleeding tendency
benefit of early start RRT?
IDEAL: 9ml vs 7ml no change in QOL or survival
What is extraction ratio?
(inlet - outlet)/ inlet urea concentration
What is clearance?
volumn of blood cleared of solute in certain period of time
relationship of extraction ratio and clearance?
extraction ratio x Qb = clearance
but higher Qb has lower ER
What is K0A
mass transfer area coefficient, clearance at maximal Qb and Qd
depends on area and membrane permeability
as dialyzer clearance
<500ml/min low, >800ml/min high
What is flux
Kuf water permeability, to measure ability to remove large molecule
high flux >20ml/hr, low flux < 8
how to measure spkT/V
stop UFR
slow Qb to 100ml/min, wait 30s
or stop Qd and wait 3min
what is cardiopulmonary recirculation
blood from outlet returns to inlet through heart and lung without going through capillary bed again
usually 5 - 10% less efficient
what is ekT/V
measure post dialysis urea 30min after RRT after urea rebound to calculate kT/V
how to measure residual Kru
urine vol x urine urea / serum urea x (24hr x 60min)
what is stdkT/V
to normalize kT/V so not dependent on number of treatment used
target spkT/V?
3x HD: min 1.2 target 1.4
2x HD: min 1.8 target 2.0
ultrapure dialysis solution requirement?
bacteria < 0.1 cfu / ml
endotoxin < 0.03 eu/ml
aluminium toxicity symptom?
EPO refractory anaemia, dialysis encephalopathy syndrome, bone disease
aluminium source in HD patient?
from aluminium pipe
chloramine toxicity symptoms?
hemolysis
source of chloramine
in water as bacterstatic, increase if depleted carbon bed
fluoride toxicity symptoms?
puruitis, VF, nausea
fluoride source in HD?
depleted deionizer
standard HD dialyzate composition?
Na 135 - 145 K 2 HCO3 26 - 36 Ca 1.25 - 1.75 Mg 0.25 - 0.375 glycose 5.5 acetate 3 - 8
preparation for AVF?
preserve arm veins avoid CVC / IV drip / PPM
Hx: DM / PVD, CHF
P/E palpate pulse, bil arm BP, allen test, edema / collateral vein / size discrepency
Imaging: USG doppler:
- minimal vein 2.5mm, minimal arterial size 1.5mm, arterial / vein dilatation test, mapping
venogram / arteriogram if indicated
AVF sites?
conventional:
- snuffbox
- radiocephalic
- ulnar-basilic
- brachiocephalic
transposed:
- forearm cephalic to proximal radial / brachial
- forarm basilic to radial / brachial
how to assess AVF ready to use?
rule of six: 6 weeks maturation 600ml/min flow < 6mm away from skin surface > 6mm in diameter 6cm length
