Q

What is the cause pre renal in renal failure?

A

sudden and severe drop in blood pressure(shock) or interruption of blood flow to the kidneys from severe injury or illness

nursing implementations: regular checkups and changes in urinary appearance, frequency, and volume, daily weights, BP, strict dietary, meds, fluid overload
Ambulatory/home care: consider HD, PD, or transplant when conservative therapies don’t work

40
Q

What is dialysis?

A

remove fluid and ureic waste products from body when kidneys cannot
- may also treat pts with edema, hepatic coma, hyperkalemia, hypercalcemia, HTN, and uraemia

41
Q

What is acute dialysis?

A

high and rising level of potassium, fluid overload, pulmonary edema, increasing acidosis, pericardia, or severe confusion
TO REMOVE CERTAIN MEDS OR OTHER TOXINS FROM BLOOD

42
Q

What is chronic dialysis?

A

chronic renal failure(ERSD)
Hyperkalemia: fluid overload not responsive to diuretics and lack of well being
- uremic S&S affecting all body systems: N&V, anorexia, lethargy, mental confusion

43
Q

What are two methods of dialysis?

A
  1. peritoneal dialysis(PD)
  2. hemodialysis(HD)
44
Q

What is peritoneal dialysis?

A

** not as efficient over hemodialysis**
- remove toxic substances and metabolic wastes and reestablish normal fluid and electrolyte balance
- choice for pt unable or unwilling to undergo hemodialysis or transplant
- fewer problems than hemodialysis

45
Q

How does peritoneal dialysis work?

A
  • catheter inserted through anterior wall working as a semipermeable membrane
  • urea and creatinine and other waste products are cleared through blood by diffusion and osmosis
  • surgery
46
Q

What is the complications of peritoneal dialysis?

A

exit site infection, peritonitis, abdominal pain, outflow problems, hernias, lower back problems, bleeding, protein loss, pulmonary complications, loss of ultrafiltration, carbs and lipid abnormalities

47
Q

What is hemodialysis?

A
  • prevents death for ESRD pt
  • 3x/week for 3-4 hours
  • artificial kidney that replaces the glomeruli
48
Q

How does hemodialysis work?

A

long plastic cartridge that contains thousands of parallel hollow tubes of semi permeable fibres

49
Q

What is the complications of hemodialysis?

A

clotting, narrowing, infection, bleeding

50
Q

What are the two type of vascular access sites for hemodialysis?

A
  1. arteriovenous fistula
  2. arteriovenous graft
51
Q

What are the types of access for vascular sites for hemodialysis?

A

shunts, interna; arteriovenous fistulas and grafts, temporary vascular access

52
Q

What is a fistula for hemodialysis?

A

preferred method more durable and resistant to infection
- joining artery to a vein
- when mature, vein increases in size and may look like a cord under skin
- takes 3-6 months
- once mature, it is ready for dialysis

53
Q

What is a graft for hemodialysis?

A
  • man made tube connecting artery to a vein
  • 2-6 weeks till healed
54
Q

What is vascular access care?

A
  • make sure it is functioning and properly taken care of by pt, maintop bleeding after dialysis
    restrictions: NO BP or VENIPUNCTIONS to affected arm, label, do not carry items, sleep on that arm, constrictive clothing
55
Q

What is the complications of hemodialysis?

A

hypotension, muscle cramps, loss of blood, hepatitis, sepsis, disequilibrium syndrome

56
Q

What is nursing management for hospitalized pt on dialysis?

A
  • monitor fluid balance, S&S of uraemia and electrolytes imbalances, BP, RR, HR, medications given
  • address pain and discomfort
  • provide skin care
  • Iv therapy
  • protect vascular site
57
Q

What is kidney transplantation donor sources?

A
  • blood relatives
  • compatible blood type decreased donors
  • emotionally related living donors
  • altruistic living donors
58
Q

What does the kidney transplantation surgical procedure look like?

A
  • live donor
  • nephrectomy
  • begins an hour or two before recipients surgery is started
  • rib may need to be removed for adequate view
  • takes 3 hours
59
Q

What are kidney transplantation complications?

A
  • rejection
  • infection
  • cardiovascular disease ( increased incident of atherosclerotic vascular disease, immunosuppressant can worsen HTN and hyperlipdemia)
  • malignancies
60
Q

What is hyperacute (antibody-mediated, humoral) rejection for a kidney transplant?

A

occurs minutes to hours after transplant

61
Q

What is acute rejection for a kidney transplant?

A

occurs days to months after transplant

62
Q

What is chronic rejections for a kidney transplant?

A

Process that occurs over months or years and is irreversible

63
Q

What is age related considerations for CKD?

A
  • ESRD pt are 65+
  • comorbid conditions to treat as well
  • dialysis decision and withdrawal
