Hemodialysis I: Introduction

2.5K
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...

Hemodialysis II: Procedure and Complications

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...

Extracorporeal Removal of Drugs: Peritoneal Dialysis and Hemodialysis

692
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or those experiencing drug overdose often require extracorporeal methods to eliminate accumulated drugs and metabolites. Hemoperfusion, hemofiltration, and dialysis are the primary techniques to rapidly remove harmful substances without disrupting the patient's fluid and electrolyte balance. For those with compromised renal function, dosage adjustments of concurrent medications may be necessary during extracorporeal drug removal.Dialysis is a process...

Dialysis01:27

Dialysis

1.7K
Renal failure occurs when the kidneys lose their ability to filter waste products from the blood effectively. It can be classified into two types: acute renal failure (ARF) and chronic renal failure (CRF).
Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...

Dialysis01:15

Dialysis

2.0K
Dialysis is a diffusion-based purification process that separates analyte molecules from a complex matrix. This is accomplished by allowing molecules in the solution to pass through a semipermeable membrane into a liquid on the other side. The membrane is usually made of cellulose acetate or cellulose nitrate, and the second liquid must be miscible with the solution. Ions (e.g., chloride or sodium) or organic molecules (e.g., glucose) can pass through the membrane pores, which generally have...

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition.
    • Conventional treatments for psoriasis are not always effective.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of hemodialysis in treating chronic plaque psoriasis.
    • To assess the duration of remission induced by hemodialysis.

    Main Methods:

    • Hemodialysis was performed on 12 patients with treatment-resistant chronic plaque psoriasis.
    • Patients were monitored for lesion clearance and remission duration.

    Main Results:

    • 10 out of 12 patients showed dramatic improvement.
    • Lesion clearing began within 2-4 days of the first hemodialysis session.
    • Most patients achieved lesion clearance after 3-4 sessions, with remission lasting up to 9 months.

    Conclusions:

    • Hemodialysis is a promising therapeutic option for recalcitrant psoriasis.
    • The study suggests hemodialysis can induce significant and prolonged remission in psoriasis patients.
