Ultrafiltration (UF): Fluid pushed through the semipermeable
membrane (SPM) membrane
Convection: Solutes dragged across SPM along with fluid
Hyperkalemia: > 6.5 mEq Symptoms: extreme muscle weakness,
abnormal heart rhythm, and possible cardiac
arrest
Hypokalemia: < 3.5 mEq Symptoms: fatigue, muscle weakness,
paralysis, and respiratory failure, cardiac
instability, arrhythmias, cardiac arrest
Normal blood pH range is 7.35-7.45.
What are the kidneys' endocrine Renin secretion, Erythropoietin secretion, Vitamin
functions? D activation
What are the most common causes • Diabetes
of CKD in the USA? • Hypertension
• Polycystic Kidney Disease
,Signs & Symptoms of fluid Hypertension
imbalance • Edema
• Shortness of Breath
A common cause of hypertension • fluid overload
in dialysis patients is
What does hypertension lead to? • Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
Left Ventricular Hypertrophy leads • ischemic heart disease, arrhythmia, myocardial
to: infarction, and sudden death
Why are dialysis patients anemic? Primary cause: Lack of the hormone
The life span of their red blood cell erythropoietin (EPO)
is 60 days or approximately ½ of Secondary causes: Inadequate iron stores,
normal 120 days. inadequate dialysis, malnutrition, blood loss
during treatment
What are the four key elements • Calcium, Phosphorus, PTH, Vitamin D (Calcitriol)
contributing to CKD-Mineral Bone - All lead to CKD-MBD when they are abnormal
Disorder (MBD)?
Pre-renal causes of AKI Obstruction, Volume Depletion, Impaired Cardiac
Function
Intra-renal causes of AKI Ischemic ATN, Sepsis, SIRS, Septic Shock,
Anaphylaxis Drugs, Goodpasture Syndrome,
Acute Glomerulonephritis, Trauma, Open Heart
Surgery
Post-renal causes of AKI Obstruction, Oliguric, Bladder rupture,
Pregnancy
, Explain the difference between AKI • Eliminating the cause of the AKI can often lead
and CKD to the return of kidney function
• You cannot eliminate the cause of CKD which is
HTN, Diabetes, genetic disorders (PKD)
What are V-tags and why are they • They state specific regulations to be met within
important? a condition such as infection control, providing
interpretive guidance for each regulation and
citing deficiencies by tag #
The manual conductivity value must T
match +/- 0.4 mS on the Fresenius
(FMC) 2008K and K2 dialysis
delivery system displayed
conductivity. Checking
independent conductivity is NOT
required when using the Fresenius
2008T or T BlueStar models or B
Braun hemodialysis machines.
T or F
What is "strikethrough" of an • It is when fluid could have entered the machine
external pressure transducer and and contaminated the internal pressure
why is it of concern? transducer protector providing a reservoir for
microorganisms and causing subsequent patient
blood infections
List six occurrences when to Baseline assessment
