Stenosis is a major cause of access failure, which unless corrected, can lead to
thrombosis and other complications. What are the signs of stenosis?

A female patient's predialysis weight is 149.6 lb (68 kg) and the prescribed target
weight is 138.6 lb (63 kg). For her four-hour treatment, the priming saline amount is
240 ml and the rinse back amount is 200 ml. She is not allowed any oral fluids during
her treatment.
The patient's hourly ultrafiltration rate should be how many mL per hour?

, UF rate should be 1360 mL/hour
5 kg weight difference from dry weight = 5 ml
+ 440 ml (240 ml and 200 ml saline)

5440 ml
5440 ml / 4 hours = 1360 ml/hour
If there is a decrease in the patient's URR or Kt/V, which of the following factors
should be looked at?
-Increase phosphorus intake
-Increase access recirculation
-Diminished dialyzer performance due to reprocessing
-Inadequate anticoagulation of the blood
-Blood pump speed
