[RRT] Flashcards
Blood over semi-permeable membrance
dialysis fluid opposite direction
diffusion down conc. gradient
disequilibration syndrome
neurological signs/symptoms
as a result of cerebral oedema
due to solute removal
HIGHLY permeable membrance
blood same direction as dialysate
large and small solutes
ultrafiltrate replaced concurrently
hypotension/haemodynamic instability
ultrafiltrate is replaced with the same volume of fluid in real time
takes too long
critically ill patient
less haemodynamic instability
peritoneum as semi permeable membrane
Tenckhoff
adding solutes to the dialysate e.g. glucose
can be carried out at home
exit site infection
PD induced peritonitis
loss of membrane function over time
hypertension
calcium dysregulation
phosphate dysregulation
Uraemia causes granulocyte dysfunction
amyloid accumulation deposition
haemodialysis/PD
increased loss in dialysate
high PTH
