Chronic Kidney Disease III: Interprofessional Care01:28

Chronic Kidney Disease III: Interprofessional Care

676
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...

Hemodialysis III: Nursing Management

1.7K
The nursing management of a patient undergoing hemodialysis includes several critical steps, starting with a thorough assessment before the procedure.Before the Hemodialysis ProcedureFirst, record the patient's vital signs—blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature—to establish a baseline. This baseline is essential for detecting conditions such as hypotension that could impact the patient's response to dialysis. Document the patient's pre-dialysis weight, as this...

Drug Dosing in Renal Diseases: Estimation of Glomerular Filtration Rate Based on Serum Creatinine Concentration

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can be estimated from serum creatinine using the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) formula or the chronic kidney disease–epidemiology collaboration (CKD–EPI) equation. Both methods are widely used in clinical practice to assess kidney function and guide treatment decisions.The MDRD equation does not require weight or height measurements and is normalized to the body surface area of 1.73 m², considered the average adult surface area.

Hemodialysis I: Introduction

4.0K
Hemodialysis (HD) is a medical treatment that artificially removes waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to perform these functions effectively. In this process, blood is filtered through a semipermeable membrane, allowing for the selective removal of waste while preserving necessary components like blood cells and proteins. Hemodialysis is typically performed in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or severe kidney...

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) requires a collaborative healthcare approach to restore renal function and prevent complications. Essential management strategies involve monitoring fluid and electrolyte balance, adjusting medications, initiating dialysis when necessary, and providing nutritional support.Fluid and Electrolyte ManagementFluid Monitoring: Regularly monitoring body weight, central venous pressure, and urine output helps detect fluid imbalances early. Patient intake and output are...

Nursing management is essential for preventing complications, maintaining stability, and improving patients' quality of life in chronic kidney disease (CKD). By using a structured approach, nurses help slow CKD progression and support effective patient care​.1. Comprehensive patient assessmentEffective management begins with nurses reviewing the patient’s medical history, and identifying key risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, and nephrotoxic drug use. Nurses assess signs of...

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Clinical Nutrition
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on hemodialysis (HD) often face complex nutritional challenges.
  • Effective nutritional assessment and intervention are crucial for managing CKD complications and improving patient outcomes.
  • Existing tools may not adequately capture the dynamic nutritional needs and outcomes in HD populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical utility of a novel, web-based nutrition algorithm for hemodialysis patients.
  • To assess the algorithm's capability in identifying patients at nutritional risk.
  • To determine if the algorithm can effectively track changes in patient outcomes over a 3-month period.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective, observational study was conducted across HD outpatient units in five countries.
  • Twenty-nine renal dietitians enrolled 100 chronic HD patients identified as "at nutrition risk" by the algorithm.
  • The algorithm guided nutrition care processes, and patient outcomes were monitored over 3 months.

Main Results:

  • The algorithm identified an average of 3.7 out-of-range nutritional parameters per patient, with high parathyroid hormone (PTH) and low serum cholesterol being most prevalent.
  • Interventions based on the algorithm led to significant improvements: increased protein intake (P=0.022), decreased PTH levels (P=0.011), and reduced serum phosphorus (P=0.006).
  • The algorithm demonstrated a strong association between diagnosis and subsequent assessment completion, indicating effective clinical workflow guidance (OR=4.08, P<0.05).

Conclusions:

  • The developed web-based nutrition algorithm is clinically useful for hemodialysis patients.
  • The tool effectively captures changes in patient outcomes, supporting data-driven nutritional care adjustments.
  • This algorithm holds potential for future research, including comparative studies of nutrition interventions in HD patients.
