Hemodialysis II: Procedure and Complications01:24

Hemodialysis II: Procedure and Complications

1.5K
DialyzersA hemodialysis (HD) dialyzer is a plastic cartridge containing thousands of parallel hollow fibers, which serve as semipermeable membranes. These fibers are typically made from cellulose-based or other synthetic materials. During HD, blood is pumped into the top of the cartridge and distributed among these fibers. Simultaneously, dialysis fluid, known as dialysate, is introduced into the bottom of the cartridge, bathing the outside of the fibers. Across the semipermeable membrane,...

Hemodialysis III: Nursing Management

1.3K
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...

Hypertension and Regulation of Blood Pressure

4.7K
Hypertension, the most common cardiovascular disease, is diagnosed through repeated measurements of elevated blood pressure. Its risks, including damage to the kidney, heart, and brain, are directly proportional to blood pressure levels. Starting from 115/75 mm Hg, the risk of cardiovascular disease doubles with each increment of 20/10 mm Hg. The diagnosis relies on blood pressure measurements, not on patient symptoms, as hypertension is often asymptomatic until end-organ damage is imminent or...

Hemodialysis I: Introduction

2.7K
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...

Hypertension I: Introduction

1.1K
Hypertension is a widespread, long-term medical condition where blood pressure in the arteries remains elevated. It is characterized by systolic blood pressure readings of 130 mm Hg or above or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) readings of 80 mm Hg or higher. Unmanaged hypertension poses significant health risks, making the distinction between primary (or essential) hypertension and secondary hypertension crucial, as their management and implications vary.Primary HypertensionPrimary hypertension,...

Hypertension III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

Hypertension is asymptomatic and also referred to as the "silent killer" until it progresses to a severe stage or causes target organ disease. Patients may experience symptoms stemming from the strain on blood vessels and tissues in various organs or the heart's increased workload.Physical exams might show no abnormalities other than high blood pressure. Signs of vascular damage, when present, correspond to the organs supplied by the affected vessels, leading to target organ damage. For...

Summary

Hypertension is common in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis (HD). Lower serum albumin levels significantly correlate with high blood pressure (BP) in these pediatric patients.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nephrology
  • Cardiovascular Health in CKD
  • Dialysis Management

Background:

  • Hypertension (HTN) is a frequent complication in pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD).
  • Dialysis-related HTN is often linked to fluid overload, manageable with improved fluid and salt balance.
  • Understanding HTN prevalence and contributing factors in children on hemodialysis (HD) is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of hypertension among pediatric patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.
  • To investigate the correlation between hypertension and various demographic and clinical factors in this population.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving forty pediatric patients with CKD on maintenance HD across three Baghdad centers.
  • Hypertension defined as blood pressure (BP) at or above the 95th percentile for age, height, and sex, or current use of antihypertensive medication.
  • Data collected on patient demographics, CKD etiology, HD parameters, and serum albumin levels.

Main Results:

  • Hypertension was prevalent in 67.5% (27/40) of pediatric HD patients.
  • No significant correlation was found between HTN and gender, age, CKD etiology, HD session duration, frequency, total duration, or blood flow rate.
  • Serum albumin levels demonstrated a significant correlation with blood pressure.

Conclusions:

  • A high prevalence of hypertension exists in pediatric patients on hemodialysis.
  • Serum albumin level is a significant correlating factor for hypertension in this cohort.
  • Further research into managing fluid balance and nutritional status (serum albumin) is warranted for controlling HTN in pediatric CKD patients on HD.
